2 of my ‘VENUS’ paintings are on their way to Artnoumillenni Gallery in Barcelona, to take part in their Christmas Art Exhibition held 15 – 30 December 2021!

The Venus figurines, highly admired prehistoric artifacts, are actually the very first representation of a female figure in an artistic way in human history. Being carved out of limestone, bone or clay during Paleolithic era, these tiny female figures are considered to be the first ‘portable art’, symbolizing fertility, security and success, the mother goddess. Women were prominent in this era, being central parts of the world view of those societies, and therefore of their artists.

I was very much intrigued by this concept and symbolic meaning. I applied ‘earth tones’ with oil paints and Italian marble powder in order to capture the beauty and resilience of these ‘primitive’ stone sculpture figurines. I hope to capture this feeling of pureness and raw beauty, admiring the great spiritual value of this amazing oldest examples of female figurines.

Excited to be accepted to participate with 3 artworks in the ARTBOX.PROJECT Zürich 3.0 at the SWISSARTEXPO art festival 25.08 – 29.08.2021! My works will be digitally presented during this event!

I registered 4 of my newest paintings, the COVID 2020 series, for the ARTBOX.PROJECT Zurich 2.0 that will take place during the SwissArtExpo in August 2020.

Mid July they will inform if I will be one of the finalists or semi-finalists…fingers crossed…

The pandemic is preoccupying the whole world and the Artbox team has set up a remarkable creative iniative. In spite of everything, they think we should continue and try to hold on to the positive. 

Artbox.talent wants to create a GIANT GREAT piece of art with artists from all over the world, with which they can spread an important message. The artwork should show how people from all over the world can create something great together. Using today’s digital media, every artist can make his or her own contribution from home. The Artbox team will then put all the pieces together to create a great work of art. This work of art will then be exhibited in August 2020 at the large SWISSARTEXPO in Zurich Main Station. The artwork measures 6×2 meters. All artists who have contributed to it will be mentioned by name next to the artwork. Every participant will also receive a photo of the finished artwork at SWISSARTEXPO!

Practical, the artist can download a template with 30 little fields. ONE field every day, for 30 days, will be coloured. Any technique, style and colour is allowed! Each field is filled with the colour that best describes how you feel that day. After 30 days all your fields should be painted. Take a photo of your work, and upload it to Artbox.talent page.

It was really fun doing this during the past 30 days, and it gave a kick knowing that so many other artists were doing the same. Thank you Artbox to keep us creative!
