Know thyself. That's what spiritual literature teaches us. Gurus, saints, sages, psychologists.
The best way to learn yourself is through a relationship.
With life. With your beloved. With people around. With the surrounding.
The best teachers are our partners and children.
I choose to believe that the purpose of life is to "know thyself".
Hence, the topic of relationships is close to my heart.
Hence, mainly this topic is reflected in my oil paintings: interaction, dynamics, bipolarity, emotions between the two.
While exploring my artwork, I encourage you to use this experience to learn yourself.
Just question: what resonates with you? How does the image/description make you feel? Which questions arise when you look at these artwork? Is there a deeper meaning?
Be curious.
Be conscious.
Be here and now.
