New silhouettes are popping up!

After a pause I’ve started my silhouettes series again. It’s a personal investigation about how I can integrate figures in my abstract and interior inspired pieces. In the meanwhile it’s also an exploration in colour. I’ve learned to use this working method at Art academy Academie Arendonk. To make a lot of studies gives me the freedom to experiment even more. I just love to put all my supplies, box of papers, magazines, colour palettes etc. on a table and just start. When I’m in the right flow I am producing a lot!

A worktable in the studio, spattered with paint and covered in studies on paper, brushes and palettes; four finished canvases lean against the wall behind it.

Five studies on paper pinned to a white wall, each showing the silhouette of a figure in an interior.
