Yesterday completely out of the blue a German couple visited my studio. They had just followed the yellow signs, not knowing what would be at the end of them. They not only loved my paintings but even bought one. We talked about modern art, especially modern conceptual German art. She lives in Essen and he is from Wuppertal. I absolutely enjoyed my time spent with those two very interesting individuals who really were into modern conceptual art.
She loves my weird stuff, like My Brain

Today is the second day of Devon Open Studios 2011. No visitors today. Yesterday a couple with a child visited me. They just saw a sign on the wall and because the child needed to take a leak they stopped and visited me. They were nice people but not really interested in my paintings or in what I am doing or why I am doing it.

Merry Christmas to everyone!
I love this time of the year. I know lots of people think it is nonsense and commercial and only about money, food, drink, and presents and this kind of stuff.

Life can be very surrealistic from time to time, in fact more often than you might expect. But surrealistic and at the same time optimistic doesn’t happen very often. But it happened to me last Sunday (May 30th 2009) in Brussels.
Reneé Magritte’s universe was conjured up on the Place Royal… giant creatures and live installations from Magritte’s paintings, a ballerina dancing on top of a piano, girls with baskets full of apples, and men with bowler hats all on a beautiful sunny day and with great music. The magical, surreal universe of Reneé Magritte came to life. The Musée Magritte Museum opened that door for us.
Here my digital impression of that day in Brussels with Magritte!
More on Surrealism on the Streets of Brussels
Last Sunday was May 30th 2009. My partner and I were among the hundreds of fortunate people in Brussels to visit the new Musée Magritte Museum, before the official opening, and for free! René Magritte is without doubt one of the most important Belgian artists and one of the most influential ‘mass culture’ surrealist painters. He was possibly more of a philosopher and a thinker than a painter. As a surrealist and a socialist he hoped to change the world and the mentality of the crowd, but he didn’t. Instead he became the most popular artist of the XX century. At the end of his life he also became very wealthy; he painted what the buyers wanted.

The inspiration for this Red Swan painting is the Black Swan; the Black Swan phenomenon, the Black Swan problem, the History of the Black Swan and the Black Swan book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. In summary, just the Black Swan. Actually till the moment that I held this book by Taleb in my hand I had never before heard about the Black Swan problem and phenomenon. My friend gave this book to me and said that I will love it. You see I studied philosophy and I love complicated, stubborn, controversial and unusual things. This book blew me away. This guy, Nicholas Taleb is an incredibly intelligent person-brain, intellectual dissident and a brilliant writer and in some way an academic libertarian.

The Bay Leaf has taken the most positive, responsible and substantial place amongst all the other kinds of leaves. When still on its laurel tree (Laurus Nobilis) one calls it the "bay laurel leaf". It is always green. It is even possible for a bay leaf to mutate and regenerate and to live for more than 100 years.

One can achieve dynamism in an abstract painting through diverse effects. For example: the choices of the colours and how one combines them, the materials that are used, the contrast between the colours, the styles, the structure and the techniques. Of course there are thousands more possibilities and explanations depending on the philosophy of the artist or the critic. Dynamism in a painting could be cheerful but it also could be dramatic.

I made a new digital painting. "A nice dream" is the title.
It is a nice image I supose. I have been thinking about the category this painting should belong.
Is this a surreal painting? Maybe imaginary artwork? Maybe fantasy art?
I can't decide which one will be the correct one.
I used an image from my oil painting + different photos of my + photo shop.
And here is it: A nice dream.
