Beginning a new project yet again, I put words to what I have been pondering recently.  I thought there would be some sort of change in the visual language of my art after living a while in Dubai. I tend to welcome the influence and inspiration of my surroundings, wherever I am. But what I now see is that my work is becoming just more of what it already was going to be.  My works of today may be interpreted as having acquired some Middle Eastern tones, yet when I compare them to some of my works from 15 years ago, the roots are already there. I’m quite surprised. Maybe that’s why I feel such an affinity with the visuality of this place. It resonates with something I have already been exploring for quite a while… And I will carry on. What an adventure.
