I do have a lot of favorites in art, Giovanni Bellini, James Ensor, Philip Guston, Zurburan, Alice Neel, Vuillard, Stanley Spencer, the master of Moulins, Spilliaert, and so many more. Colenbrander is very inspiring because of his translation from nature to a pattern and Hendrik Voogd’s work, special the Italian landscape is so beautiful and so much loved by a big audience that they even made wallpaper of this specific painting from the Rijksmuseum.
When I have a new work on my mind, it’s in vague outlines. I don’t project anything, there is no detailed plan. I find out what to do while I’m drawing. Until the work is finished, there is always a chance that my attempt will fail.
That is a requisite though: the possibility of failure.
Propositions coming from the use of materials will have to guide my way. My ideas must be translated into dots, lines and smudges that are looking for new perspectives. Cotan, Hodler, Paulus Potter, Munch, Per Kirkeby, I need them all for my work.
