„I am driven by light“.
The old italian and dutch masters with their chiaroscuro knew
all about it.
Light is everything. Without light the above colors would not
shine. And: light focusses the concentration of the viewer
on the essential part of the painting.
Art today often focusses on being special and different from all
other artwork. Most artists do away completely with the
techniques of the old masters. I see that differently: for me,
a painting should appeal to the senses, be balanced,
attractive, and contain some form of statement.
Combining the extreme use of light together with a scene
that conveys strong movement of people within the picture
is my main motivation for grabbing an easle, putting some
nice paint on my palette and start telling a story.
Stroke by stroke.
