I painted this artwork with natural pigments from Roussillon which have been used since prehistoric times for the walls of the caves. In 1780, Jean Etienne Astier from the village of Roussilion discovered after processing ochre became an inalterable and non-toxic dye. Walking the Ochre trail was a magical experience where I visited this small village and bought the paint. Back in my atelier I created this artwork.

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 always had a thing for reusing materials. When I was younger, I inherited boxes of old treasures from my grandma and grandpa who was a painter too. From brushes, to ribbons, from paper to sewing templates. For this abstracted landscape artwork, I used their antique paper mixed with found paper from Canada and cut-outs from my old paintings. Dream away in a coral and chocolate landscape.

Once on a beautiful autumn day a gorgeous canvas of golden ginkgo leaves carpeted our street. Beautiful yellow golden leaves everywhere. A magical feeling which was captured in this painting.

In Japan the ginkgo's fan-shaped leaf has carried symbolism along with its singular beauty: a symbol of growth, protection, peace, strength and hope, and a symbol of longevity as the tree can live for a thousand years.

Life is all about connecting with what’s around us. Nature, family, friends and strangers. Sometimes you do not need words to connect, it can be a look, a gesture, a smile and you feel the connection within.

I walk home across the rice-fields, green emerald rice fields. The grassy blades whispering, swaying in the gentle breeze. Let us walk once again through the innocent charm of the paddy fields. Hiding ourselves in this cocoon of simplicity. Emerald green fields.

Chestnut, brown, terra, sienna… An ode to the colors of the earth, the colors of life.

The female body, in all it's shapes, is always a big inspiration for me. I love the individuality, the small flaws making it just perfect.

It’s a beautiful day. Let’s take a bath in the warm sunlight. It’s a beautiful day. Follow the love, follow the light.

Spring is here, the season of new beginnings, where doors open and bright colors return.

“Nongkrong” – in Indonesian language “relaxing & hanging out with friends”. At the time I was a student in Indonesia. We sat together with friends having coffee and talking. “Nongkrong” is all about the pleasures of sharing time with friends.

I believe that an art piece can make us feel joyful or strong and powerful or it can take us daydreaming into another world. I think that looking at art can relieve stress, helps you relax or stimulate your own creativity or imagination. My artworks are supposed to be peaceful happy places. They should serve as a space for the mind to be still and calm the eyes to rest from a busy world.
