Storm means tension, change and discharge.
You can see a storm as a natural phenomenon, but also as a metaphor for global and climatic change. There are indications that they will occur more often in extreme forms on our continent.
You can also see it as a reference to a changing Europe.
Or as a sudden event in your life.
In the small paintings I investigate whether I can depict the calms of storms as a metaphor for current issues: the calm before the storm, the eye of the storm and the calm after the storm. In some of them I want these phases to merge.
How do you see the storm?
This long-term project started in 2019. Curious to see the latest storms? Check out my picture gallery.
My larger Storm (nr 7) is part of the collection of Museum De Lakenhal.
