The series of paintings "The Most Important Job" is based on stills from reality shows about parenting ("Supernanny" for example). I want to draw attention to the flipside of the mythical glowing motherhood we see in the media, by showing painful situations that may occur even in the most harmonious families. The fact that a child is dependent on its parents makes the relationship inherently unequal. This should warn people that abuse with lasting effects is easily administered and hard to avoid. A child is not a wild animal that needs to be tamed, as seems to be the prevailing belief. Nor is every woman meant to be a mother. "The Most Important Job V" is a very small oil painting on gesso prepared panel. On request I can make a hanging system.

In my art I explore paradoxical concepts like "choosing to believe", "introspection" and "giving meaning". In our secular, globalised world, it is no longer possible to just follow the rules and directions of your tribe. No one is born into a function or position that is not constantly questioned. How we can live a meaningful life in congruence with our big brain as well as our hungry bodies is a question I will never find the answer to, but that drives my work forward. A portrait I painted of my mother is currently on view in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam (till 15th of September 2019).
