Oil on linen (Alu frame) / 140 x 140 x 4,5 cm / 2019 - 2020
This work is part of the series 'Silence and The City' (2019 - 2020). ‘Silence and The City’ is inspired by New York City and the search for contemplation and inner silence in everyday life, about finding meaning in life and the connection of the spiritual world with everyday life.
This painting is inspired by walking through life and New York City. The fundament in life of trust and faith (in any form), the opening towards the light, the choice, the tumult of life, the day, the night, love and joy, the movement and energy of life. The church on the right (Madison Avenue Presbyteria Church, NYC) is painted with thick layers of paint as the fundament of life, not as the institute of religion, but as a symbol of faith in the spiritual world, which is always present, through all layers of life.
