Masks are a big part of our lifes right now. With my contemporary art pieces, I’m exploring how I can make beauty out of something so dreadful.
Corona-Art #16: Can You be more Colorful?
Prideful Color Explosion: A friend told me the other day, she’d like to see a more colorful painting. She thought mine were a bit on the dark side. I’ve decided to wallpaper the canvas with medical / surgical masks and only use colorful paints. If you take a closer look, you’ll see that I have …
When you have leftover paint (Part 2): Let Creativity pour down on me…
I tried the pouring technique with this one. I feel like I still don’t have the right mixture down, I might have used too much silicon oil. But I actually like the pattern… It’s acrylic pouring on canvas, 20 x 20
When you have leftover paint (Part 1): The Universe
After “My Corona Crisi” I had a bit of leftover paint and thought, I’d try out something new. I’ve actually put two droplets of silicon oil into the paint, poured it on and used a hairdryer to spread it until I liked the pattern. The paining is acrylic on a painting-plate, 30 x 40. It …
Corona-Art #15: My Corona Crisis
I call it: “My Corona Crisis”. It’s mixed media on canvas, 70 x 100. I’ve used my Filtering Flower Pieces (Ffp2) again. I’ve tried to capture how the last 1,5 years have made me feel during the pandamic (anxious, lonely, creative, empowered…). What do you feel? Take a closer look:
Corona-Art #14: Frida’s Weeping Flowers
I call it: “Frida’s Weeping Flowers.” It’s mixed media on reused canvas. I had this painting, I didn’t like anymore and painted it over. Again I’ve used and spray painted old (desinfected and cooked) medical masks for some flowers and upcycled the vase and rose after I had Marie Kondo-ed some of my stuff. I …
Corona-Art #13: Skater-Shelf
So I bought an old Skateboard and painted it over. I used two “filtering flower pieces” (Ffp2) on the edges. Now it’s a board for my plants. What do you think?
Something wooden
I actually can’t show you my two new ones yet (Corona-Art #9 & #12: They are made as presents. But I thought, I’d post a self-portrait I made in between. I have incorporated the recycling thought here as well. The canvas is made of small wooden plates, which often come with canvases. So therefore it’s …
Corona Art #11: No Piece of Art is like the other
So my beautician who supplies me with quite few masks, asked me if I could do one piece for her like my “Filtering Flower Piece 1”. This is the result. Somehow same but so very different. I’ve taken pictures and a video from both next to each other. What do you think?
Corona-Art #10: Beauty Standards
I‘ve been thinking a lot about Beauty standards latetly. And since I’m running low on masks, I’ve started experimenting with collages and photo transfers. This is my first one. A self portrait. The main theme is diversity in beauty. This is an inkjet print and even though the common opinion is that only laserjet prints …
