About "Joke"

Joke "is voorgoed op reis". One of five paintings. Joke was a real dutch woman. I found her death notice in an old dutch news paper (part of the painting) that I brought back with me to South Africa. She simbolizes ANY woman that was once loved and honoured by someone...a husband, a family, colleagues, etc. I added the square block of WHITE bandage to somehow show that the loved ones eventually find healing and peace with their loss...

About Heloïse

I do find my inspiration from Gods Creation. In nature the forms, textures and patterns normally catch my eye. I have to take a photo then...these intricate details end up as a colourful abstract painting. In contrast to this I also do like to paint landscapes, people and scenes that appeal to me in any manner. My paintings then are an impression of what I see.

I lived for three years in France and The Netherlands. My experiences there are currently memories that weave their way through my creations. During this time I also completed a propadeutic lecturer education at the "Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten". Although I enjoyed my studies then I had to return to Africa for I felt like a cactus plant trying to grow in snow...finding my roots again on this continent I am currently living my own African dream.
