Creating + Seeing = Knowing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For me, art and philosophy have always been very much related but how, I find hard to explain - probably because it’s as natural as the air we breathe. Fish don’t know water and humans don’t know health unless they are sick. I think real knowledge is the result of creation, in art and science, also when metrics are part of the story. Facts are great, they refine and help intuitive insights crystallize. But I side with Plato, who said real knowledge is created out of memory. He had his doubts abo
Anthroposophic painting with Germanic roots - part 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In part 1, I told you about one first part of my artistic development - art school, Anthroposophy, painting lessons by students of the Collot-d’Herbois method and the Germanic influences in my cultural roots. Here I’ll go into the more classical painting techniques as a way to work with light - I think this is the ‘germanic’ thing in my work. Germans are good with technology and creative as well. In part 1, I explained Arminius’s creative-technical genius by which the Germanic tribes beat the -

Read excerpt
I’ve lived with anthroposophy almost as long as I’ve worked as an artist - almost 30 years. When I met this sublime philosophy (Truth and Science) I studied at the renowned Rijksacadamy of fine arts in Amsterdam (more on that in this post). The most important decision for my artistic development I made when I was 18: I need to know the elements that I work with, from the inside out. It took me a while to get to know color (more about that in this post) but I found that out with the help of Goeth
learning crisis, humanitarian crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dear reader - there’s a core to my work and life which is hard to explain and uncomfortably unique as well - it’s like a handicap I try to bend to my advantage. I used to hide myself by regularly throwing myself into new projects just because I wanted to learn new things. I still tend get lost while I wander (wonder). But recently I found the thread in it all - and I long to help or enrich others with what I learned.I’m a visual artist but a thinker as well, even though I’m more of a storyteller
How angels talk to us (all the time) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve been reading a book about angels - collected chunks of content by Rudolf Steiner, put together by Andreas Laudert. I wanted to dig in a litttle deeper - and translating content from your own experience material is the best way to learn. So here we go. The easiest way to say it: all of nature as we know it is carried by higher beings, one could say: a sum of nine hiearchies of angels - the youngest and smallest ones tend to each one human, carrying that person’s higher self as long as it can
