When it stops raining


Title: When it stops raining
Format: 122x74x5,2cm
Technique: Acrylic, charcoal, crayons on board
Production year: 2015
The artwork is made with acrylic paint, I have also used charcoal and crayons. 
I have painted an abstract landscape with surreal elements, a reflection of the 
our world. The title acknowledges a particular mood or perhaps a sort of prayer, the aftermath of our doings.
The painting is made on a mdf.board, it has a solid, thick, wood frame on the backside, 5.2 cm deep in all. The painting is relatively heavy. It can be hung on the wall as it is. The sides are painted in the same palette as the painting. It is difficult to give a good photo of it, in the original the colors are a little lighter.

When Isabel falls asleep

Juliette (a letter to mankind) is an acrylic painting on a board. I have portrayed a human figure, smiling, and inhabiting a sort of calmness despite of everything that is happening around her. The difficulties and the hardship of human kind is communicated using a rough painting style.
