Omroep Tilburg op bezoek in mijn atelier

Onlangs heeft omroep Tilburg mijn atelier bezocht voor opnames van hun programma CulTuur, waarin telkens twee Tilburgse kunstenaars in de spotlight worden gezet. De betrokkenheid van de omroep met de makers gemeenschap is bewonderenswaardig en laat zien hoezeer cultuur in Tilburg gewaardeerd en uitgedragen wordt. We kunnen met recht trots zijn op een omroep die kunstenaars een breed podium biedt. De uitzending heeft inmiddels plaatsgevonden en hierboven kun je het fragment uit mijn atelier bekijken. Het volledige programma van de omroep is te vinden onder CulTuur seizoen 13 aflevering 5

Artist Statement

My work focuses on the exploration of subcutaneous communication and the sending of double messages between humans. From an early age, I have been fascinated by the way people respond to ambivalent signals in their interactions with one another. This interest has become the driving force behind my artistic practice, as I seek to uncover the various ways that people deal with subtle hints in their conscious and unconscious communication.

In my work, I strive to reveal the answers to these questions as clearly and accurately as possible through powerful imagery. To achieve this, I rely on the naked human body as a key element in my compositions. By carefully controlling the shape and perspective of the body, I am able to depict the smallest of details, such as a bemused hand movement or a quivering nostril, with great precision.

I also strive to avoid cliches and references to well-known icons in my work, as I believe that this would detract from the message that I am trying to convey. Instead, I focus on creating original, thought-provoking images that urge viewers to consider the complexities of human communication and relationships. My ambition is to create beautiful yet abrasive works that leave viewers moved after encountering them.
