Dansende Zon

Dancing Sun (1994)
oil on canvas, 130 x 140 cm
The sun is the source of life, light, energy, warmth. For us earthlings of extreme importance, the sun was considered divine and personified as a god since ancient times. The sun dances across the sky, her beams reaching in all directions.

Summer 1993 the sun was mostly hidden behind clouds. I made this painting as a declaration of love, an ode to the sun, acknowledging her power and influence.
