Oil on canvas, 90 x 70 cm
I am working on a new series of oilpaintings.
90 x 70 cm
Some new drawings, sketches.
In the Nordic and Greek Mythology, Gaia was the great mother of all: the primal Greek Mother Goddess; creator and giver of birth to the Earth and all the Universe.
I don’t know yet how, but I am investigating how to implant this theme into my work, into my art. So these sketches are part of my research.
I was not present at the time, but I think these drawings where made approximately one hour after Charles Darwin published his book “On the origin of species”, in 1859.
By the way, these drawings are for sale. If you do buy them, I will donate the money to charity: “SAVE THE DINOSAUR”.
Promise.

This painting is about the creation of the world, the start of it all. Based also on the Edda, the Nordic mythology.
Shapes are beginning to form, and in some corners, there’s what you can call “first evidence of possible life”.

This painting is called “Preformation”. Not too long ago, scientists thought that the human embryo, the baby, was a tiny version of a grown human being. Waiting in the sperm cell. And just had to grow (in the womb of the woman ofcourse).
I also read a lot about “the Edda”, a very old book about the creation of the world (Nordic mythology). This is also a theme a use sometimes.
And explains the environment the sperm cell is “floating” in, in this painting.
