I have been looking into the concept of order and chaos as well as ying and yang and tried to find ways how to visualise these ideas in an abstract way. Our life is defined by regularities and structure, not only in the form of days and hours as well as seasons or age. The existing structures overlay and influence each other (as depicted in my painting “order”). Besides pre-given orders there are orders of our own (personal or human) choices like society, politics, religion/philosophy, family. These are much more complex and difficult to grasp and they keep on changing. The painting order is the way we can easily understand the world. However if we look at the bigger picture of what is going on it becomes more blurry and this clarity can fade away as in my painting “fading”. We struggle to find something to hold on to like a grid of values and priorities that we are unwilling to let go of in this age of capitalism and self-centredness
