My head is down
Tears in my eyes
I only hear emptiness
The taste of loneliness
But …
There’s a light around me, a search for what is real
There’s a light around me, a truth deep within
There’s a light around me, a raw pure love
Just waiting to come to the surface. On the other side of my tears.
There is beauty in sadness

ARTIST statement
“I love painting people, especially portraits. My figurative work is narrative, in which I create an atmosphere that expresses emotion.
My theme is the power and subtlety of femininity and capturing the essence of beauty and vulnerability. Using light and color to create a romantic, soft atmosphere that invites deep reflection. Beautiful draperies that emphasize the body and beautiful flowers play a major role in my work.
I’m inspired by classical painting and try to continue this tradition through my craftsmanship. With a painterly style and realistic rendering, I create beautiful works of art with oil paint on wooden panel or real 100% Belgian linen.”
