Baukje Spaltro

Dutch Italian contemporary painter. I paint panorama's, metaphores for the world we live in. Space creations we all create together.
Since 2015 I work on City Spheres. Showing the local spirit for awareness of the local identity and urban environment, to obtain a colorfull and all-inclusive society in Europe.
About urban identities of European cities. I am especially interested in the invisible part of the urban identity, the sense of a place, according to the Romans the Genius Loci.
I use uneven colors on a fluor underlayer. The fluor underlayer enforces an intuitive proces, which is necessary to represent the sense of a place. And it reflects visually the importance of a local colored soul in communities.
