Guatemala Print

I let the paint and brush guide me, the whole purpose for me to paint is to let my subconscious mind do the work and reach catharsis - a state of mind which is in flow. Therefore I try to lure it from it's hide, by submerging any part of my rational and logical mindset out of the way, so hidden feelings cannot interfere with any defence mechanisms. The moment the brush hits the canvas is the moment I feel the flow, almost like Japanese calligraphy which samurais mastered the art of. Every brush stroke has to come from a deep place, and has to count on some psychological level. But at the same time I like listening to songs on repeat when I paint, to stretch a certain feeling in order to understand it better. Contradictory in the one brush approach, and songs on repeat. Life is full of contradictions, that's the luxury of it - contradictions created culture, the rest is survival. And as the title suggests, I am done when I am left emotionally exhausted but cleansed. Carthasis is to me, when you deal with your instincts in a healthy way. The canvas itself should be regarded as an intellectual boxing bag. I bring nothing more to the canvas than the urge to create, and when I'm finished I get to see my self in a whole new light.
