In this series I found myself laying on the back of the paper. Forming my body in the state of mind that I wanted to express and tracing, perforating my shape.
The two hands apparently seem to be empty, but on a closer look they are carrying this state of mind.

Following a intuitive approach on my artistic practice I find it sometimes difficult to understand the WHY I had the strong urge to use my own body. At this moment I am not interested in answering and researching this question. I just want to continue on this path... The sense of being invisible in vulnerability or maybe the courage of being visible in vulnerability....

Of being in-visible...
In contact with another it takes a conscious effort to see the Other as they truly are...🤔
This drawing has two faces. When you're approaching this drawing from a distance the meaning changes the further you come closer. If you take the effort to look beyond the obvious, the meaning will reveal itself to you.

Sadly a photo does doesn't do the drawing justice, no matter how hard I try.

I would rather be only drawing and working in my studio, but this is also a part of it.

Not the best nine...🤔 but nine works that are a representation of the evolution I went through this year.
I learned a lot this year and had many teachers. I've learned so much from @dineke.blom and @carenvanherwaarden ; they gave me honest feedback and opened another level of artistic practice. 🙏🙏
Not all my teachers were mentors, I learned from my fellow artists, enjoyed their work and their work ethics.
Laughing together and talking about art in Summerschool gave me a final push to rely on my inner compass. Embracing my own vulnerability as well as letting it shape my artistic journey ...
I'm looking forward to meeting my future teachers (in any shape or form) in 2021, whilst enjoying the ride of life. 😊

Laatste weekend om verliefd te worden bij de Kerst Sale van@wgkunst 🥰.
In de expositie van WGKunst kun je verliefd worden op kunstwerken ❤🖼❤

Van mij hangen er heel misschien nog deze 3 werken. Al weet ik niet helemaal zeker óf ze er nog hangen, want eenmaal verkocht krijgt de nieuwe eigenaar ze meteen mee naar huis.

Dus als je nog wil genieten van het warme gevoel van kunst, reserveer dan een tijdslot op de website van @wgkunst en laat je verrassen 😍.

Sketch of today, still wet💦
Fainting Mary with the hand of John.
This drawing focuses on Mary and is inspired by the descent of the cross by Rogier van der Weyden. Van der Weyden was famous for the realistic representation of emotions, people could relate to the feelings on the painting, therefore experiencing empathy.
Empathy is a very big part of compassion which I am researching.
In this era I feel that there is a hesitation towards strong emotions such as pain or grief. It takes time and a conscious effort to see the reality of someone's inner feelings...

Working on floor heating has its advantages😊. Working wet on wet in watercolor the warm floor forces me to work quickly, making instant decisions and not to fuss over details💫

Inspired by "the descent of the cross" by Rogier van der Weyden this drawing focuses on the compassion towards Mary. She's in this drawing, yet slightly hidden, only to be discovered by following the punctured paper...

Not sure I'm keeping Mary... I'll wait until she's dry and a few days have passed.🤔

Current studio wall (and floor)😊.
I've been working hard the past weeks. And so my drawing is evolving towards hidden drawings...
The big drawings are 75 - 110 cm and besides the obvious hands, there is also something hidden (but you can't see it from this distance).
The 'smaller' drawings are 50 - 70 cm.

Being vulnerable feels terrifying...💀

I've been working so hard trying to make perfect drawings: showing skills just so people can say that this is good art, validating me and my work.
But I don't think that's my path anymore.

So ... letting go of perfection, letting an awkward hand touching, embracing the vulnerability and my inner critic. Trusting my hand and the way the watercolor flows...and being scared as hell in the meanwhile!

This drawing is made with watercolor and ink pencil on paper, 50-70 cm, 2020.
