Prachtig minimalisties portret Saskia. Je blijft me steeds weer verbazen over je grote verscheidenheid aan technieken waar jij gebruik van maakt. Haar melancholieke ogen heb je schitterend weergegeven.
Fijn weekend, Johann.

Dank je wel Johan, het is heerlijk om dit soort portretjes te maken. Gaat veel vlotter dan die uitgewerkte stukken en het geeft veel plezier.

Artist Statement
for Saskia Cox-Steenbergh

Netherlands

In this space I was asked to put my aritststatement. I really didn't have "an artiststatement" so I had to think about it a little. This is what I came up with:

About art I can say that it uplifts spirits and touches souls. It can make us see. It can puzzle, baffle, stupify, amaze, petrify, deeply move or console, it can instill a quiet moment of deep pondering, it can be decorative, opinionated and it can be fun or bore. These are just "a few" things art can do, which i really like about art.

The best thing about art for me is that it gives an unboardered freedom of expression which can be experienced as intensely liberating.

If you look at my art, you see all aspects of me.
