WAITING FOR IDEAS WHILE MY PLANTS ARE GROWING
2024–25 | watercolors on paper

These are portraits, not still lifes. Living beings captured on paper at a specific point in time. They will never look exactly the same again. To capture this momentary quality, they are painted on a scale of 1 to 1. Some have grown since then, others have withered.

Just my lockdown paintings three years ago, these are all life-size recordings of plants at a certain moment. Unlike then, I was not confined to my flat - but still I could not come up with anything that I’d rather paint.
