These works are part of the "Massive color into space" series. I thought what else could I add to a still life. Suddenly I thought what if I start using color, replace the moody background with bright colors. And so this series was born.

The inspiration for this series came from a space travel report I read by the Dutch astronaut Wubbo Ockels. I was captivated by his space travel gaze, that he realized dangling in space how special the earth is in that seemingly infinite nothing.

The works Cloaca and Blue are part of the exhibition 'Oysters and Lemons' in the Muiderslot, which can be seen from 2 September to mid-November 2022.
