This piece is a counter point to another work "nu slapen". Where nu slapen was about peace, relaxation and renewal, this piece is about decay and death. Both pieces have literally the same subject, lighting, pose, flesh tones so all of that difference is about how emotion gets communicated. Note the lines on the face, the tighter pose, the tension in this scene vs. the open / sun-lit / peace of the other piece.

Netherlands
I am an oil painter based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I have been painting for over 20 years. Over the years I have worked on a varied repertoire: plein air landscapes, portraits, pet portraits, sports. There is one common thread - I like to build in motion and disruption into my paintings: obscured edges, broken colour, ghosts, other elements of visual excitement that build abstraction over realism. The other thing is that I actively practice the Japanese art of notan, the linking of shadow forms, almost as an invisible layer to all of my works. I strongly believe in the healing power of art, both for the viewer and creator, and this informs my themes. Whether I like it or not, a film of emotion inevitably settles on everything I paint. Some of my clients claim they see a seductive puzzle in my paintings; others tell me they see longing and a touch of sadness. One of them told me they liked the "shouts not whispers" in my stroke play... I now think of that observation as something core to my style, a form of music.
