About the art
Artist statement
Inspired by organic cells, fossils, minerals and flowers, the artist used India ink in combination with elements of the ancient Japanese Suminagashi technique of paper marbling.
The aim was to create visual forms and textures that imitate and amplify nature. Due to the qualities of the materials used, the process of making is very fluid and alive, the resulting elements are partly calculation and partly chance. Just like in nature, every element is unique and cannot be repeated.
Cutouts, made alongside the ink elements, both echo and contrast them, serving as an allusion to the fragility of our nature.
The artwork evokes a sense of meditative calm and tranquility.
