Until 1999, I painted on self-prepared and stretched canvas. Aka Regular Stretched Canvas (Museum Wrap). All the paintings in this series are 100% handmade. From the production of the canvases to the actual paintings. This also means that the works are not 100% even in size.

Mara (From the Series Uitspraken (Dutch for Pronunciations)

When you are present and silent. You can observe and hear a lot.
Mara had black hair with painted red full lips. Which made me paint her face red. And her name in black. Her pronunciation is in blue.
