2025/26 WS The left painting is a large vertical sheet filled with energetic, layered gestures that read like a visual transformation. Scattered blue and red splashes create a chaotic mid-zone, suggesting particles dispersing after impact. The contrast between airy marks above and molten accumulation below evokes expansion, explosion, and sedimentation in motion.The colours flow in a movement state with splashes of different tints, it created a rainbow of feelings.
I chose to have fun with this 10 meters long drawing, not necessarily with concrete drawings, but more with sensation and flow. I tried to overcome my boredom of drawing.

Drawing & Storytelling
The course DRAWING & STORYTELLING focuses on artistic drawing as an essential medium to conceptualize, communicate and express an individual idea. We've been working on various techniques to develop contemporary drawing skills and to reach a deeper understanding of the act of creating. The course aims to sharpen observational skills and strengthen individual artistic vocabularies. Large-scale formats shed light on diverse facets of contemporary immersive drawings.
