Art as a mirror of the soul
I create art medicine for the soul with a deep wish of contributing to the healing and harmonisation of the living. By assembling found pictures and prayers, cloths and threads, I create poetic soul art that give impressions rather than an exact plot. My collages and assemblages evoque cabinet of wonders and curiosities.
My ritual art gives a feeling of dreaminess and nostalgy and thanks to a word, a stitch or a photo the eye is guided or given clues, to receive a message for the soul.
I believe art is a mirror for the viewer. When you look at a piece that resonnates with you, it tells something about yourself, like an art apothecary where your souls tells you what you need or don’t need anymore. I love art with a message, and I believe the message is born when you look at it, more than when you create it.
I work very intuitively most of the time, but an artwork can be initiated by an intention, a dream or a thought. Always a prayer pops up while I’m working. A prayer for healing and harmony. That is why I call it healing art.
Ecology is a way of living and I try to apply it in my artistic work as much as possible. I try to work only with natural materials such as wool, stone, wood, metal. Or recycled materials.
