I am curious about what happens when I try something new. In these Process Notes, I share experiments, works in progress, recurring symbols and the occasional adventure that finds its way into my work.
Leonoor Ruigrok –
A small oil painting, a house-like form almost hidden in the landscape. In “Shelter”, colour, texture and movement gather around a form that remains quietly present.
A sunflower theme that did not feel like mine at first led me somewhere unexpected: to small Italian landscapes where the sunflowers gradually became less important than the light, colour and energy around them.
I used to make paintings within a few hours. Now I work more slowly, often on several pieces at once, leaving a painting alone when I don’t yet know what comes next.
For me, intuitive painting is about responding while I work. I may have a direction in mind, but layers, gesture and material can change where the painting goes next.
Summers around Lake Orta have their own rhythm: family, friends, wakesurfing during the day and painting in the evenings. A small glimpse into our Italian summers.
During a first location visit to Schuur De Wilde, the landscape and shifting daylight already became part of the work.
