After years of pioneering experimenting and researching I have invented a way of successfully making paintings using only resin, fiberglass and pigments.
In this technique I use up to 20 layers of painted and cast coats of semi transparent pigmented resin in combination with epoxy and fiberglass. Due to the large number of layers great visual depth is created; some parts appear infinitely deep. At the same time, because the layers are very thin, the panels are only 2 or 3 mm thick.
Due to extensive sanding and polishing the surface of the painting is completely smooth and very glossy.
Thematically these new printings are in line with my older pieces, all revolving around the same themes; fascination with endless open spaces, an empty stage, landscape, looking from one place through a window into another, the horizon and the inquiry into what lies beyond.
In my most recent paintings I work with 'curved horizons', a series of paintings in which the flat horizon transforms into a mountain, a valley or the Earth as seen from the sky.
