Inspired by the art on the streets, realizing that what we see is merely a snapshot of its evolution through time and how it will continue to change in the future. There is experimentation with various materials. The work is raw, unpolished, and impulsive. The images are built up with a multitude of layers and materials, resulting in unexpected and fascinating outcomes from materials that, according to the laws of physics, shouldn't work together. The question of whether one should have stopped earlier intrigues and triggers contemplation. It invites a new way of looking at images, thinking about the journey they have taken to arrive here. This gives depth and meaning to what we see. During the creative process, various snapshots are captured, allowing the viewer to travel back in time and witness how the artwork looked at that specific moment. The question arises whether it was better, more beautiful, or more powerful in that phase. The viewer is taken into the struggles an artist faces and the irreversible decisions that are made.
This work is part of the "Art Abuse" series, where paintings purchased from the thrift store are used as a basis..
