Symbolism If it had not been for that preexisting #malevich guy, I would have made black squares and circles on a daily basis. Simplicity ⬛ so satisfying. Portobello Been busy studying the ontological status of a shrimp🍤and a fish bird (swipe). Onigiri ♥ My face - when people serve me too little food. #zwaarverbaasdevreetbeer The beauty and the smell of star anise De tweede kleur like water, like rain The apple doing research on the tree. Longing for friluftsliv De laatste weken heb ik goed nagedacht over wat ik nu precies wil gaan schilderen. Ik raak geïnspireerd door natuurlijke fenomenen, landschappen, foto’s en schilderijen van andere makers met originele invalshoeken, bijzondere objecten, interessante mensen, films en muziek. En ik word ook geraakt door onrecht en ongelijkheid in onze maatschappij. Op Instagram heb ik de laatste weken vele soorten werken bekeken van anderen om inspiratie op te doen: er is veel talent op aarde! Mijn ideeën worden steeds helderder, maar het is soms makkelijker om te blijven kijken naar wat er al is. Na circa 30 uilen, werd toch de eerste uil van juli ( … ) geen kerstkaart, maar dit 😊. Stuur deze ansichtkaarten naar je beste vrienden! True empathy. The newest postcards just arrived! Perfect for Dry January. Here they are! Assisting Cupid with two bald insects. So ... how u doin'? ☺️ Waiting for the clouds to cry a little less. While ‘Love more’ by Sharon van Etten (the version with Justin Vernon) was on repeat, I ‘painted’ another seascape. There is so much beauty in that song. When I drew winter in August. Just wanted to wish you #happyholidays. While Andrew Bird’s ‘Manifest’ was on repeat - such a great song! Zo, even een dansje doen nu. The Philosopher Me and my happy legs in 2018. And that television, I still don't own, that looks like a vintage microwave (that I also don't own). Sitting on that old couch, I, unfortunately, still own. Tutti frutti 🍋 Between Narrativity and Randomness Understanding the meditative practice of Agnes Martin Anew, Again "I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea." -- Nick Drake The smell of rosemary 🌿 Cutifying fruits while reading a philosophical article on grief. Moments of valuable mindfulness in the trivial on a sunny Sunday. I would love to go to the #peach! When I listened to 'Be here now' by Ray Lamontagne.
