The portrayal of "meat" or "flesh" are constantly present as the object of my paintings. Food has always been a pictorial theme throughout art history. This theme has a social relevance but I am not interested in it. I am primarily interested in sight and pictorial issues.
I bought some slices of meat. These became my models. I took a photograph of them and then I traced them on a paper and made templates of the same shape. Based on the templates I cut the form of the meats out of paper. On these pieces I made pencil and watercolor sketches. Then I repeated the process with wood instead of paper, and painted them with oil.
My works are not still lives, but painted objects.
By cutting out the pieces I emphasize the freedom of organic shapes. The depiction of the organic world as opposed to the geometric world.
