My painting entitled “Palimpsest II” refers just as my "Palimpsest I" to
the medieval practice of scratching off old scriptures on parchment for getting
space for new writings, whereby you sometimes could still discover traces of
the underlaying old letters. In the case of this work you may discover remnants of
tissue structures covered with gold, coming from a former collage, beneath the dutch pouring painting. Old and new are reconnected in an extraordinary way, whereby the gold stands for value and the green, white and violet for new life coming out of the old. It is up to the viewer to discover hidden shapes or animals in the painting.
