To touch a golden globe


It's been a while and a lot has happened since. I've graduated and have entered a new fase in life as a small animal vet. It was not a smooth transition and besides reinventing myself, I didn't have the energy left to create. I did experiment with finger-painting and it felt very authentic, mystical and direct. Like creating my own prehystoric art. The most intens experience was painting on a spherical lamp. Letting my hands glide over the smooth surface, my fingers seemed to work without my intervention. The result was some sort of oneiric surreal mess, but the process was very liberating.

The minotaurus will never be finished btw, not only have I found a way out of the labyrinth, my cat found his way onto the painting... He fell asleep on top of it and left thousends of hairs in the paint.
