Trust

By  Maria Kuipers 2012 - 2016
'Trust' is one of those paintings which has come on a long journey. As I work on self-development my art follows, or, the other way around, when my art speaks to me about my psychological, spiritual or some aspect of the human condition it influences my development. I had to trust the process and let go of preciousness for the painting to emerge. It is now settled. I love to use discarded recycled materials and here I've used found pieces of 'Broderie Anglaise' fabric. Each material becomes part of the structure and part of the construction of a painting. When I paint over fabrics, whether thinly or opaquely, I feel a sensuous and fragile quality that connects with the human condition.
