    ALL. MY. LIFE.

    "How long did it take you to do this painting?" - a question that many people ask me. Well ........ there are many possible answers. I started working on this piece when I was staring at the blank canvas for about three hours before the brushes touched it. I started when the brush touched the canvas for the first time. I started when I thought about this new colour combination the other day. I started 10 months ago when I was developing and working on a new technique I am using now. I started when I painted all these paintings that noone's ever gonna see because they belong in the trial-and-error section. I started when I had this eye-opening conversation with this artist friend of mine. I started when I studied at university and had this amazing professor who taught me so much. I started when I was 2 years old and painted a colourful rainbow at the wall of my bedroom (when I was supposed to sleep :-D ). I started when my mum showed me all the appreciation in the world for my first painting on paper by frameing it and hanging it on the wall. I started when I bought this new fancy brush that I REALLY and URGENTLY needed (even though I have another hundred at home already). I started when strolling for hours through one of these amazing museums I got to visit, diving into one of the grand masters' pieces that inspire me so much. I could go on like this forever. So many possible answers. I guess all of them are true. A painting is a process, rather than a result, and painting is a way to live and a way to see things. So when I'm asked this question, "How long did it take you to do this painting?" .....my only possible answer is: All. My. Life. ✨🌌🤗😍 . Please let me know your thoughts! Like always I love to hear from you <3

    Peace. Breathing. Access to and expression of feelings. Feeling light, relief and freedom. Diving into another world. Letting go of all the thoughts, being in my body. Happiness, joy, bliss.

    Ready or not?

    Ready or not?

    Is it a challenge to know if an artwork is actually finished or not? Yes and no. I keep on struggeling some times, other times it is just very very clear and I feel it immediately - "that's it, it's finished!". I guess it's clear to me when I listen to my guts, instead of listening to the mind ;-)
