A new story by writer Karin Melis. (Published on 22 december 2025.)
A story that pulled me into a cave, to follow the feelings of a man on a mission.
Karin writes. And listens.
I still have much to learn from her in many areas, but above all in compassion.
Where I can sometimes end up swinging my arms around me, she looks for connection. She observes, reflects, and stays. We can both be fierce at times. Or filled with wonder at what happens around us and within us. I translate that into images, and Karin uses words.
She chooses
After writing, she chooses an image that fits the story. This time, she chose my mixed-media work Noordwijk Breath. You can read Karin’s story, Kwijtgeraakt on her website and view Noordwijk Breath on Saatchi Art.
Another painting published by Karin Melis is discussed in my article A Painting as a Philosophical Mirror.
