Jacco Hinke

My work explores the balance between control and letting go. I believe that not everything in life can be crafted, and by releasing control, unexpected forms take shape on the canvas. Each piece builds through layers, where moments of doubt and spontaneous choices become visible. This layering reflects both the structure of my thoughts and the raw beauty that comes from the unpredictable.

In my creative process, I find myself on the edge between mastery and surrender. For me, a piece is complete when it finds its own balance, resonating with both itself and with me as its maker. This approach brings the painting to life with its own presence, free from rigid rules – an invitation for the viewer to dive into its layers and uncover their own meaning.
