The subjects of my drawings are inspired by themes from literature, with a preference for the mythological and surreal. I like the patience needed in the processes of traditional art. Together with the fact that there's no 'undo'. There's always the danger of ruining a drawing. Therefore concentration is most important. My other love is handlettering. Typography has more restrictions than drawing, so it demands more technical control (and concentration). |

For 'A map, not the territory', I used Googlemaps satellite-pictures; as image source and for the composition of the drawing. By making a drawing of these pictures, I made it into a map. You might say that this is the objective part of the drawing.
I added abstract forms to the drawing, to represent my personal associations with the area, that the map is a reference to. So that would be the subjective part of the drawing.
As a map this drawing is useless, because the area this map refers to, and my personal relation to it, are not given. This leaves the spectator with the drawing as is.
