« Last week I was presented with an 'oilbar' sample, which is a new type of artist's medium. It allows you to draw with oil paint in the shape of pastel chalk, which you can even work with your hands. The canvas that I had covered with a texture of the ultramarine oil bar had more or less dried, I decided to give it a try: I used yellow and red fingerpaint alone which I pasted on with my fingers. After working the paint into the textured underlayer and into each other, I used my nails to scratch into the paint in order to make it look a little more 'rocky'. The hand and the Bocarina in the picture are exactly the right size, as they are prints of the original. »
« The painting really is an experiment, because I wanted to see if I could combine both types of paint and create some sort of naive, direct 'cave art' without any brush. I had already planned to do something with the bocarina model and thankfully, I received a bocarina yesterday! I had been triggered by the Nosy Diva asking if I would create something around this South African nose flute, but mostly by UkeHeidi's photo-combinations comparing nose flutes and cars. »
