Into painting again

Back in Belgium with all my art supplies at hand, space and good light. I very much enjoy going back to prevous project, giving old paintings a new life, with new knowledge and experience and new materials. The fact that it was already there and still felt unfinished gives me more freedom to play and experiment and just do what gives me joy.

Mixed media on canvas 50 x 70 cm.

A long time I have been holding myself back from painting the figures I see emerge in my work. Giving space to the viewer to project their own images. But now just working for myself , I find the freedom again to express the things I have seen. A lot of different experiences and memories come together in this painting.
