The beginning of this indigo series was created at the Stenen hoofd (Stone head, a pier by the IJ ) in Amsterdam. The day I painted the indigo, I had a black sky, with lightening bolts to my back and an electric blue sky with blazing sun to my front. The wind was blowing the storm away and the sun was taking over whilst a rainbow appeared above the dark water. I felt strongly guided by my spirit guide, Celia Pailloux, also my grandmother, who was clearly showing me where to stroke the paint. I finished stitching the works by the waterfall in Westerpark, all in a very harmonious setting contributing to this harmonious series. The moment the thread came in, the idea was to create a new shape within the already very defined shape. Even though the thread is very delicate compared to the robust painted shapes, it brings in a light and clearly affects the already established story by proposing other shapes and directions. The use of thread is inspired by Japanese Sashiko and Boro stitching. Whilst hand stitching I feel transported into possible other lives as this feels all too familiar for someone with no stitching or sewing background. The combination of thread and paint has been an ongoing experiment for over a year now and I’ve tried all kinds of combinations. Background paintings, canvases, colours, materials, strings, threads and even ropes. These two works are the most minimalistic of all the works in these series, which was the greatest challenge, using less and saying more. (for the exhibition the canvas was stapeled onto a thin wooden panel, for shipping it will be taken loose and rolled for convenient and less heavy shipping)

Art is my prayer. I try to bridge all my experiences into something beautiful, heal any hurt with the magical touch of paint, an eventual mirror, cloth or mosaic. Unlike my fast paced multitask nature, the moment I sit down to paint I enter another realm there where I can reflect and be still. My greatest inspirations and influences are nature and the magnificence of cultures from around the world. In awe of these wonders it is my wish to pause for a moment, express this beauty, whilst giving thanks. Note: Please take in account that nearly all works presented are unstretched. This is due to weight/shipping and storage. Please ask if you have questions concerning the space surrounding the composition. Email:
