At the beginning of this year I was asked by the Kloosterkerk in The Hague to make illustrations for a book “A velvet bridge” with prayers and meditative texts by Rev. Margreet Klokke. For each of the ten themes I made an abstract illustration on the iPad, based on the idea of my sketches and paintings with the ‘shadows’ theme (as if the ‘sky’ makes paintings on the surface of the earth). It is interesting that religion and art in the book come together in search of inspiration and comfort, each in their own way, but also reinforcing each other. This book is available for € 22 in the Kloosterkerk on a Sunday after the service at the book table, via www.boekengilde.nl/boekenshop and at the Ichtusboekhandels in The Hague and Leiden. The book is also available in the Hooglandse church in Leiden.
My exhibition at Fundação Fernando Leite Couto was a news item on Mozambique national television this week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEK_E67t4rc&feature=youtu.be
Yesterday I had a successful opening in galeria Fundação Fernando Leito Couto of my solo exhibition. Many people came, Dutch Ambassador made a nice speech, got an interview for the national television and I sold some large paintings.
Tomorrow my solo exhibition opens in Fundação Fernando Leite Couto, with paintings and prints. It is honorable that I can exhibit in one of the best galleries of Maputo. Everybody is welcome.
