Almost hidden
In this small original work, a house-like form is almost hidden in the landscape.

Not as a clear building, not as a neat place to enter, but more as a presence. A small construction between turquoise, green and warm earthy reds. The landscape moves around it, but the form remains.
That is what interests me about works like this. They do not have to be large to carry something.
Sometimes the tension is precisely in the small: a roofline, a dark opening, a piece of shelter that almost disappears into colour and movement.
For me, this touches on the idea of a shelter place. Not literally as a house, but as a place where something may hide for a while. A thought, a memory, a feeling that does not need to become clear just yet.
The work has something quiet, but also something stubborn. As if it says: I am small, but I am here.
