Marijke Pieters

The world is turning, spinning, changing. Rapid. Progress and loss.
 Movements and anti movements. The human interference, pursuing a makable world.
These current overwhelming events have an effect on Marijke Pieters as a person, as an artist.

Her current works are a reaction on this, but also in a way her desire to create a world that stands still, an imaginary pause. A short moment of non human activity, a frozen moment, a dreamlike condition. Only land, water and air.
These small moments are her makable world.

Marijke choose’s composition and format. Then searches for the colour from the dictionary of color combinations of Sanzō Wada*.
She use’s his formula’s, based on CMYK, for mixing the selected color.
 Until this point, she feels in control, but when the application of the oil layer begins, the control fades. For she can never exactly predict how it will behave, how it will turn out.
One part is left spared by the oil paint. It could be seen as a horizon, the maximum distance for our eyes to see, beyond that is unknown. It could also be seen as part of interference and part untouched.
