A young woman stirs dreamily with a spoon in her coffee. She is wearing a dress with a graphic pattern. Her eyes are lowered, her facial expression calm and contemplative. The work has a graceful mood and is a shade of pink. However, the white surface of the dress ensures that your eye is immediately drawn to the woman.
This work came about because I like to draw people in cafés. Ideally, then, I like them to be sunk in thought and not notice me. I also have a love for graphic design and pattern design, which comes together in this work.
I like that there is a contrast in the work; the woman's expression and gestures are calm, while many patterns have been used. The colour palette mainly one colour, which makes everything come together.
Personally, this work reminds me of Japanese art, because there is a lot of tranquillity in that too.
The technique is 'paper cut' or collage. I use coloured paper and self-drawn patterns to create an image by cutting and pasting.
For people with an affinity for graphics, Japanese art or vintage furniture, this is a must have.
My work distinguishes itself by strong colours and clear shapes. I work with ecoline, ink and pencil, but I also like to cut and paste.
I get my inspiration from nature and like to daydream. Animals and people sometimes seem to melt together in these reveries.
