Built by instinct.
Worked by hand.
I build large, expressive paintings with oil paint, pigment, charcoal, oil pastels and chalk. Brushes, palette knives, my hands and sometimes a saw shape my work.
Layers are added, scraped back and rebuilt. Each mark responds to what is already there. I continue until the painting has the tension and presence I am looking for.
The Work
The work begins underneath.
Birds, faces, eyes and raw layers return throughout Willem’s paintings. They carry tension, protection, freedom and change.
Never decoration. Never fully explained.
