Made in my studio in Breda, The Netherlands. Document of Authenticity included. ‘Brahma’ is part of the Chateau d’Arte series, a series of monumental paintings in which personal stories intertwine with old myths. Created in the tranquility of the corona pandemic, these are my painterly Grand Cru's that show a world full of visual adventure. In this painting I reflect on the fact that as an artist you are the creator of new worlds. Brahma is the creative aspect of the Hindu Trinity, of which Shiva is the transforming part and Vishnu the sustaining part. Brahma is the cosmic energy that expelled the germ of the universe into space, allowing the male seed to penetrate into the female egg. Shiva shapes the cosmos and is worshiped symbolically in the form of a lingam and a yoni. Vishnu is the destroyer of the worlds ("I have become dead, destroyer of worlds") and thus provides for progress and thus time. Text in the painting: The crocodile did bite an empty space and new goalers are born blue. Through that: brahmabrahmabrahma…. (primeval father Abraham appears). Accented in black: ace (the ace in the card game).
