VISIBLE / ABSENCE
A series of paintings exploring the topic of loss and grief. It started out as a personal diary where I basically painted my feelings after the death of my own mother. It developed further into a series of paintings that became more than I imagined.

The paintings developed into an intimate abstract dialogue with her. The paintings explore what loss is; what is under the surface, adding depth and layers. What is still visible? The written notes can be shown next to the paintings, they are small diary notes I wrote alongside my painting process.
Note 3:
How can a sentence unfold without a sentence? How can we sense what loss is? Exploring a tension between a visible existence and an invisible one, bringing what is no longer visible, a loss, into a visible dialogue of senses. a concentrated muteness, not demanding of attention, leaving an underlying narrative merging into a field of vision where the light can exist as a formless form of abstraction.
