The soul? The sages also speak of the soul of the animals. The spirit makes the human being a human being.

To the human being, but the art aims to express which is beyond the human being. It is intuition. It is the pure expression of that incomprehensible power which works universally and which we can therefore call the universal.

Piet Mondrian

 

​

There is the smell of varnish heavy in the air when I wipe the canvas with the sponge, without hope that with the movement my thoughts will pass. Thoughts that are directed only to the next work, or to what this work wants to be created for.

 

I am surrounded by paintings that claim to want to express something beyond human being.

Pictures that scream louder for a frame than for the public.

Opposed to them is the call of an artist who feels with her pictures and yet is only human.

 

I am on a journey of which I cannot yet tell you where it will end.

It began at a point where light and shadow, like wildly danced around the bet. 

There springs a bridge, which touches the ground of the facts only this side.
