ROOM WITH A VIEW is a Mixed Media / Collage artwork. This means that I have used different materials to make this painting.
The background is a collage of magazine paper with all kinds of texts and letters. These become clearly visible once the work is printed in large format.
Over the collage I painted a kind of serpentines with acrylic paint.
And finally I painted a window with black and white acrylic paint and a girl with binoculars.
As very often, I used a child in this work of art, because I want the viewer to look through the eyes of the child. As he experiences life.
At the same time, I want to take the viewer back to their own childhood. As if you are looking at an old photograph from the past.
With this painting, I also want to show that nowadays children often live 'locked up' in a safe environment, while outside there are all kinds of fun and exciting things to do. But children play outside far too little.
This work of art will look fantastic in any interior, from a workplace in the office to an industrial interior or a living room, due to its street art look and cheerful colours.
Many small details will become visible once the artwork is printed on a large format!
