This space I would like to use to introduce some of my
paintings, to show how they are created or what happened with
them afterwards.
I also would like to introduce some more paintings that I
admire or... I will see...
Alegory of Melancholy
To make this painting I decided to use two
Magdalena's from paintings of Artemisia Gentileschi, not so
famous woman artist from renaissance.
(In 1616, she became official member of the Academie del Disegno (Academy of Design), an unprecedented honour for a woman. She had many patrons, including Grand Duke Cosimo II of the powerful Medici Family.)

Penitent Magdalena (left) and Mary Magdalene as Melancholly (right)
are two
images I melted together on my painting.
They are creating a symbol of my passion and devotion for art, my believe and trust in that what I do, but
also my melancholic feeling about absence of tender emotion in
nowadays art
There is no drawing on this canvas, I just started working
with knifes from the spot where is the right hand of Magdalene
as Melancholly. Then I kept on exploring the space going from
one Magdalene to another until I created the feeling I wanted to
share.

Identity of Capelle
The most beautiful experience I had with the artists of our
community was the project: "Identity of Capelle".
Our challenge was to make something that would
represent our city the best way possible.
Our work was exhibited in the City Library and
people could vote for the best.
I made a round painting of s"Gravenweg and I
received a good critique.
Identity of Capelle are for me mostly the
people I know.
I've learned in library about the history of
this place and about s'Gravenweg, street connecting Gouda and
Rotterdam, the longest street in Holland.
That is why I see Capelle as a road coming from
past and bringing us all together to future.
Painting is donated to school De Contrabas, the
elementary school of my daughters.
Symbolical message of my round painting was with
end like this completed.
