Pastelpainting, washed ink with pastels and charcoal. Price is with package MuseumpakBox ( € 250 ) and with basic white washed wooden frame. Drawn on 400 grams paper. The Sounds of nature series. This landscape is new in this series and made in a swamp-warm- misty atmosphere. The fantasy forms are a mix of plant and animal like creatures you can find in the deep ocean. Years ago I started with the idea to entitle some series ‘tic,tac,toe’ or in Dutch: ‘boter, kaas en eieren’ or ‘butter cheese and eggs’ as a playful thought and also because it evokes for me a fertile place a spot under the sun and a green land of milk and honey. But why name it in Dutch: boter, kaas en eieren..and what about the history behind this designation ..? Thinking about at a different level the range of the positive- and negative electrical poles or the countless zero-or-one schemes that produces all kind of signals over the world. Perhaps the universe is the sum of all mathematical numbers, a gamble in which numbers sort themselves in groups and form the structure of nature and construction of the earth. The grids in my series are small circles, little planets similar like our earth, with fantasy forms filled in with colors as budding buds of flowers or where life begins and a fertile green growing place to be. Because of their gentle and calm appearance the colorful little ornaments are a contrast within the my many strong brushstrokes and areas in my Pastelpaintings.
