I'm very excited to be part of this Art Fair, among 25 other artists of different disciplines.
We're going to travel together through 200 different artworks...
September is starting by a collaboration with ARTpoint, the organiser of the event.
I'll be presenting my🌊Sea Inspirations I painted on the beach in Oostende, at the Belgian Coast, while I was living in the highest tower of the city, the famous EuropaCentrum.
I did a three months self-declared Art Residence there (before going to live in Venice). I was living high in the sky with a direct open view on the SeA.
I was sharing the flat with another famous Belgian artist Fabiaan Van Severen. In this period, he was making his boat to travel around the world and I was painting.
There was a lot of fog this year...
The coincidence was that when I started my Art journey, a long time ago, when I went to live in Valencia, Spain, I called my business BecauZe of the Fog ...
After this, I went to live in Venice, Italy and as I arrived in February, it was completely foggy also !😅 I love life's synchronicities !
It has been an adventure. Some days I would paint on the beach, some others in the tower... But the sea is the main actress in the show.
I guess so much fog, so much grey and white made me want to see very bright colors. So I started to create my own oil paint in order to achieve the vibrance I needed.
You know each color has energy, a vibe (everything has actually). So I guess sometimes we need to see some bright shiny colors.
In these paintings, the paint is mixed with fluorescent pigments, so they glow under a Ultraviolet lamp. My paintings completely change under this light.
They glow in the dark and it's beautiful.
The ones painted on the beach still carry a bit of sand on them and all of them have been painted with sea water from the North Sea... They are infused with Sea energy...🌊
You are invited to see my Sea Abstractions and many other artworks and artists on the weekend of the 10th and 11th of September 2022, from 10h to 19h.
