Liza 01

This striking artwork features a graceful figure outlined against a vibrant and textured background. The colors are infused with various shades of teal, teal green, and hints of white, creating a lively and refreshing atmosphere. The figure, with a gently flowing headscarf, appears contemplative, exuding a serene and tranquil mood. The background is layered with expressive brushstrokes and subtle text, adding depth and intrigue to the composition. The juxtaposition of the detailed line work of the figure against the abstract, chaotic backdrop highlights the beauty of the human form in a modern context, making it a captivating piece for any space.
This painting would be a beautiful addition to a bedroom, living room, or meditation space, offering a calming focal point that inspires tranquility and reflection. It pairs well with modern or eclectic decor and can enhance spaces such as yoga studios or wellness centers, where a peaceful atmosphere is desired.

This artwork is inspired by fragments of the book ‘Bezonken Rood’ by Jeroen Brouwers. The fragments that inspired the artist are about his memories of a long-lost love: Liza. | “During the few seconds I stood in my garden, I thought of Liza, in her dragonfly-blue see-through clothes, years ago. […] In my imagination I saw her in the rectangular lit window above the clock shop window as if on a television screen.” | (From ‘Bezonken Rood’ by Jeroen Brouwers) | The artist wrote text fragments with metallic foil in bright green, gold and silver colors. The changing incidence of light during the day ensures that the texts stand out more or less. The texts are in English and in Dutch, the native language of the artist and the writer. The artwork is ready to hang.
