This work was created with watercolour, soft pastel, marker and fineliner. Collage technique was also used alongside painting, making it multi-layered.
The background consists of a dark starry night with moon, and a green-grey lake. In the water, a lady is bathing. A lushly colourful forest of plants and flowers can be seen to the left and right. The plants contain fantasy shapes.
The work gives a dreamy paradise atmosphere. A lady enjoying a natural bath in the night. Is this an alternate reality where the cards of patriarchy are dealt differently?
As an artist, I make great use of the warm colours, purple, pink, brown, orange yellow. These give a 1970s atmosphere to the works, also because of the lush floral work. In addition, you will always come across natural organic shapes in my artworks, reminiscent of plants and flowers. With these, I want to celebrate femininity, softness and nature.
