Radegonda Broede

As an artist I create art that shows a reflection of the beauty of imperfection in nature. I like to show people that perfection does not exist and want to show them how beautiful imperfection and ephemerality is. I also work hard on making objects from clay which represent my feelings about tragedies. With this art I hope to touch other people so they will think and act.
I try to travel a lot and it is on those travels I can be touched by this imperfect nature, objects, people, houses etc.I start with making photo’s. Back in my studio these pictures become a poem and/or a painting and/or an object with clay. All as les complex as the clay makes it possible.
