Artistic Research on Colour Sensual experience

For a moment, we are face to face with the animate, nurtured with colour and time.

‘De kleuren maken ons erop attent dat we ons met onze tijdelijkheid moeten verbinden. Dat het leven dan vloeiender en zinvoller wordt. Want dat is het wonderlijke aan ephemeral experiences. Juist door het vluchtige en vergankelijke in kunst te ervaren, komen we zo dicht als we kunnen bij de ervaring van eeuwigheid. We staan even oog in oog met het bezielde dat met kleur en tijd wordt gevoed.’

It is precisely by experiencing the ephemeral and transient in art that we come as close as we can to the experience of eternity. For a moment, we are face to face with the animate, nurtured with colour and time.
