School Uniform series / Hernieuwen
The paintings are inspired by my travels through South America and Asia. In this School Uniform series I show my observations from mainly South America. Where legs and feet attracted my attention. I observed girls in their everyday school environment. Girls in uniform waiting, lingering, lazing, standing in the schoolyard or on the streets waiting for a (school)bus. Universal postures and poses of girls in the same cloths, though very subtly and culturally specific, something of the personality still remains visible.
HERNIEUWEN
Also is my attention is drawn to the girl and the identification by an attribute. Especially in the paintings inspired by my travels through Peru, Bolivia and Argentina. These are my first paintings in the egg-tempera technique. In 2012 I started working on the project HERNIEUWEN. The project included a research into the use of egg- tempera and the function it could have in effectively bring across the expressiveness of my paintings. Among other things I learned the principles of egg-tempera and discussed the results. The outcome of the project was presented in my studio at Duende Studios in Rotterdam, the Netherlands and discussed by experts.
