Destiny

This painting is called ‘Destiny’. The woman and the car were my sources of inspiration for this painting. It’s all about life’s search. Searching for your destiny. Searching where you belong. Who are you, were do you want to be and what do you call home? A lot of us are searching many years throughout life, while the answers are often right in front of us…

Like all of my paintings this piece was made on top of a few sheets of book paper glued together. Whenever I start painting I avoid the blank page. Usualy I work on top of old, used book papers. I think it’s because of my day job – I’m a writer – that I don’t get inspired by a blank page. And I DO get inspired by a page that has already a story. It works very well for me to combine my story with the story that was already there. The layer of the story becomes a layer in my artpiece.
