Vision

Four images that appeared behind closed eyes.

In spring 2020, the artist sat in the forest at sunset on several consecutive days, eyes closed, attentive to every change in thought, feeling and sensory perception. Whenever a train of thought or a kind of dream took over, the focus was calmly brought back to the body — to breath and heartbeat.

During these meditations, four images appeared very clearly, in colour and blurred form, in the dark space behind closed eyes. They became four works, 150 × 150 cm each, in Rembrandt pastels on 220 g/m² paper.
