Dreamscapes


Dreamscapes is a series of paintings that allows you to hop on my train of thought and see inside my brain.

Upon seeing an object, an animal or a person, my brain associates the thing I see with all kinds of things that pop up in my head and follow each other up at a high speed. I like to imagine my brain as a universe of memories, objects and associations, and whenever I see or hear something, the train of thought takes off and races past all kinds of memories.
This series shows my idea of the universe inside my brain and all the objects and memories that float in it.




My brain is a universe


Planets exist around objects


The memory mass twists and turns


Worlds pass each other in opposing directions, sometimes colliding


A chaos of floating memories.




Initially, the Dreamscapes project started with drawings of oldtimers. I drew my associations with the cars around them and created a painted collage of surroundings and subjects. However, later in the process, I decided that some of the images were stronger without the cars and therefore I cut some of them out. I still like the left-out parts, so I will share some of these below.





The drawing below was a commissioned drawing for Pieter Kok, who had seen the drawings of the oldtimers and liked to see his car in this style.
