The Secrets of the Medina

 Whispers of the wind through the narrow streets of the medina, where I glimpse the palms,

Wondering what beauty may unfold,

Discovering the secrets of the medina.

Behind each door, another waits,

New paths, new lights,

New unseen gates.

Each gateway holds a truth inside.

Each one teaches me something new.

The magic of doors in the medina.

Trusting the path,

Following the light.

Magic dawn, silence and calmness. The first rays of sun enlightens my heart. Feeling the love and kindness. Early morning sunrays, beauty in the serenity of silence.

SHE RISES WITH THE SUN

Soft coral earth beneath

her feet,

The sun slowly sets over the land.

The horizon whispers,

She will rise again.

Shadow and future intertwined,

Threads of all that she is woven together.

Here and tomorrow,

Even when the night feels long,

The sun has promised

It will always return.

Her eyes sparkle,

Carrying the light.

The light of connection,

With all that surrounds her,

Through every layer of herself,

She carries the sun.

You’re with me wherever I go. A sensual sway embracing my sunkissed skin. Chasing the sun as it’s rising. Burning bright, cinnamon & gold. The horizon... wherever I go.

I am a river, clear as crystal every morning, my path drawn by the wind. I am a river going down over wide stones. The moon shimmers in jade green water. Follow the river.

This woman’s portrait, painted in soft pink and tender brown, feels like a memory of warmth. I love how the flowing colors ground me, calming the mind like early morning light. It’s as if I can smell the fresh air, feel the earth beneath my feet, and sense the soft light brushing gently against my skin.

I love to paint female faces with sparkling eyes. I always paint the eyes first, because I see so much in eyes. They are the window to our soul, telling us much about a person just by gazing into them.

The painting “Tendre” is inspired by the Japanese concept “wabi sabi” which is about the perception of beauty. Accepting the transient nature of life, authenticity serves as a focus point of wabi sabi cherishes the cracks and imperfections. They symbolize the passage of time and loving use. Love as the antidote to a throwaway society built on disposable goods and mass-produced homogenous items.

Living in the Netherlands, it’s never far to the sea and I go as often as possible. When I travel, I enjoy the long walks on the beach, hearting the ocean sounds and colleting shells and pieces of coral. The sea, sometimes rough, sometimes calm, gives me a lot of energy and frees my mind.

Autumn leaves shower like gold, the winds of change begin to blow. She is like a beautiful, bright autumn day. With golden hairs and eyes blue like the sky. Autumn and her early sunsets and magical damp mornings. The sun is casting beautiful rays of light through the mist and trees.

Inspired by the Wadden islands and the Dutch coast.

Nature is calming and relaxing, and a painting with flowers instantly brings a feeling of wellbeing to a room, and reminds us everyday to enjoy the beauty of nature.

Der Frühling ist da, die Jahreszeit der Neuanfänge, in der sich Türen öffnen und helle Farben zurückkehren.
