The name of this series of small paintings is "The Power of Now". Now is awareness to me, to be open with all my senses, take in without judgement, to be curious, see details. See, feel, be aware of this Now - live in it. As an artist I can only create honest art if I use all my senses, here and now, that I follow my impulses coming out of this now. I am in the moment, I am in the now, I am in flow. It is like walking through a forest with all the senses heightened, to be acutely aware of all the shapes and lines of Nature. The Now is a force, in contact with myself, in contact with others - just like it is for all people. And even more important now, in these Covid-19 times, when many of us are living the "small" life. To be present in that life. Everything we do, all the days we are doing that, have relevance and meaning to ourselves and to our relationships. When we are truly here and now.
