It’s mixed-media on a 30 x 40 card-board. I dyed the medical masks in yellow, orange and red. And glued on the dried skin as well. A lot of patience was involved with this painting as I had to let everything dry in between the phases before I could continue. I like experimenting, so this…
A few weeks ago, I had to do a head CT. If you have ever done a cat scan, you might know how claustrophobic and loud it is inside, yet you are not allowed to move. To calm myself a bit, I meditated. And this is what I saw while meditating in that uncomfortable place….
Ever felt a little alien? Like you don’t really belong? Well, sometimes I do. And so this self portrait somehow reflects that fantastic, exquisite weirdness that somehow belongs to me and at the same time makes room for creativity. The painting is acrylic on cavas, I spray painted the Ffp2 masks with acrylic too. It’s…
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.
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…
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
After “My Corona Crisis” 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…
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:
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…
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?
