Lovende woorden van Kunstcritici Adelinde Allegretti , organisator van de expo in Zweden over mijn werk, nog te zien tot 28 september in Sigtuna. The following words are meant for those of you who wish to be taken by the hand and accompanied through a critical reading (this, too, “within the limits” of my personal interpretation) aiming, on one side, to facilitate the understanding of the artworks, on the other side, to instigate doubts and raise questions. The landscape painted by the Dutch artist Henriëtte Kros van de Water evokes the idea of tranquillity and total silence. In both Biesbosch zonsondergang (2006) and the more recent Biesbosch (2013), the landscape scene is stripped of any human or animal presence, but one almost perceives the delicate sound of the flowing water and swishing vegetation. The use of pastel imbues this already idyllic vision with extra softness; besides, the reflection of the sky’s brightness onto the liquid surface is charged with symbolism evoking a pantheistic vision of Nature and of its inner sacredness.
