After high school I started to study law in Amsterdam.
I liked it the first year, later on not.
I got stuck in an impasse, didn't know how to go on,
suffered from depressions and attacks of anxiety. At the academy of fine arts in Enschede I made objects. Back in Amsterdam I slept during the daytime for a few years, walked the streets at night. To let the fire that was raging within me have its way. See Vita Imperfetta. I became more sociable again, took modern-dance lessons. Aurareaders proved to be able to tell incredibly sensible stories about me. I signed up for a training in aurareading. I turned out to be rather astral minded, very open to images from earlier lifes, real?imaginary. See: A Most Unorthodox Vision. During this training I painted simple figures, Kiddos, who by their posture express their attitude towards life. Often the figures are empty inside. A friend said about one: "What am I doing here all alone in the cosmos?" I made a second series of objects, more spiritual of nature, and a series of portraits related to the Vita Nuova story. Walking the streets, the Kiddos, the earlier lifes, it felt like a period of regression. The Fireballs are the end of a quest. The objects are of a mental nature, the Kiddos are empty inside, the Fireballs are cores of creative energy. |
