'Staring, gazing, waiting, imagining, fearing and longing for the epiphany that will deliver us from this ever-growing amount of existential uncertainty.'
'Longing for the Epiphany' reflects on a world that is changing at the speed of light. The way we consume imagery, spirituality, safety, hope, and dreams. Nothing we see is the same as it was yesterday and we can only dream about what it will look like tomorrow, leaving us gasping for solid grounds of direction and meaning to cherish and to hold on to.
In the meantime, we keep 'Staring, gazing, waiting, imagining, fearing and longing for the epiphany that will deliver us from this ever-growing amount of existential uncertainty.'

RECONSTRUCTIONS OF A PAST STILL TO COME
'Although the paintings might seem colourful and playful at first, their underlying story is certainly not for the faint of heart.'
Libya, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Turkey, Greece, Slovenia, Belgium, and France. I travelled a big part of Europe and the Mediterranean to film different sides of the ongoing refugee crisis for Dutch television. The impressions of these trips inspired me to create a confronting series of documentary paintings juxtaposing popular image language with the severe challenges our society faces. The goal with 'Reconstructions of a Past Still to Come' is to document the crises so that years from now, when all of this is over, we can reflect on them as a reminder of the way we used to be.
