Her inspiration
sprouts from her innermost self, the place that houses her 'true' strength.
Her creations are the result of her passion, her love and her persistence.
By playing and interacting with the structure and colour of every single
work, she wants to make them glow, make them come to life. An interaction
which results in gripping pieces of art, both to look at and touch. Her
love for pure colours and her passion for beauty result in every single
work being given birth to by her inner strength.
The use of pigments, which she almost exclusively collects in Marrakech
and which originate from the High Atlas, combined with a variety of
materials like gauzes, nets, sand, pine needles, mediums and many other
allow her even better to express this purity and the desired structure,
mingled into a harmonious whole that is rich in emotions. An ever during
search for purification, purity of pigment and perfection of colours.
A purity that is truly pure and real. No optical illusion or blatant lie,
no happiness in sorrow, no hypocrisy or hypocritical conduct.
The auras are an expression and radiation of the self being. They are
the fields of our very own strength that we apply to express ourselves,
to give and take, to repulse and attract. A strength that meets certain
needs: vitality, presence, hidden wisdom, solidarity and intimacy.
A field of energy that surrounds the human body.
And then there’s the graceful silhouettes, full of the language of life
itself. Every single one of us is different and unique, not better or
worse. Profoundness and inner beauty is rooted inside each and every one
of us, and radiated through one’s own body: body talk. Fertility, maturity,
perfection and seduction.
Look at them, enjoy them and even touch them… Like Catharina once said:
“I also paint for the blind”.
