WHY DOTS?




In 2006 I was fascinated by an artist in Belgium by some dotpaints on canvas he had exposed. I was hypnotised by the power of the artwork and it sucked me into the canvas and that was new for me.

I started painting again but had no clear purpose, had no preference. Shortley afterwards there was a 2 hours workshop given by the same artist in the local village and I was excited. The workshop led to self - start.

Relaxation, be yourself, imagination, fascination........, These are some values to me by this technique of painting.

I usually start by drawing some lines and let me lead by my fantasy, where the dots allow me to bring. It happens also that I have a clear picture of a design. Acryl is the basicpaint and very important are the colorcombinations, colors can make are brake the design.

This is just the beginning, many ideas will still come and there are many dots to follow.........
