ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The sun has been the subject of my research for two years. I am fascinated as a source of light and colors, a source of heat, the central star of the solar system, a yellow dwarf. The solar circle has been worshiped on Earth ever since man was born. "Sun is a god" was said by William Turner on his deathbed. The sun for the painter is the god-creator of everything we see. I painted this painting on the basis of a photo from an iPhone. I wonder how the optics of the camera deal with blinding people and sunlight that is dangerous for the eye. The colors are very bright, pastel, the colors are split, but in a damp fog, because it is the Sun seen from the Earth, specifically from a seaside beach.

I move between different styles, combining abstraction with figuration. Concerning themes and my color palette, I have no restrictions, with one exception: I avoid dramatism in depicted situations. Only the scale between extensive backgrounds and minor human figures or vehicles is constant. I am inspired by Dutch painting, especially by Peter Breughel. I like to think of my paintings as a kind of poetry without words.
