Painted Beauty can save the World, 2022-2026, painted on Hahnemuhle Baryta photoprint, aluminum, 20,6 x 27,6 cm I’ve been through a turbulent period of intense reflection and writing. I started writing, painting and sketching on proofs and developed a totally new way of working. I discovered old prints who wanted to come out of the stock.
Our Dutch golden age flower paintings need a new story. I write, paint, and draw. I throw ink. I write with white ink. The patriarchal colonial system needs to change.
Photography means “writing with light” in Greek. I want to bring stories to light and spread light.
