What inspires you?
My inspiration can come from lots of things. Very small things: how a light is cast on a tiny object or the movement of raindrops on a window. But also the comprehensiveness of nature, the law of conservation of energy for instance and the fact that zero&infinity are everywhere AND nowhere!
Describe your creative process.
This series is called lumina, that's Latin for lights or cavities. It evolved from my take on the Dutch fraction of the ZERO movement. First a grid is applied on a panel, painted matt black. The grid (cavities) is then filled under a magnifying glass. I use a dip pen, with gold-inks (lights) I developed. Then a process of destruction/creation takes place untill it's done.
