Artist Statement:
IF YOU LIKE THE ARTWORK, WE
WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO
PLEASE SIGN UP FOR THE EMAIL
OPTION.
I predominantly use pen and
ink, colored pencil, crayon
and acrylic paint on paper or
canvas to create art, which
educates or I am focusing on
the ‘feel-good factor’: Do not
underestimate the effect of a
glance at a piece of art. As
one may make you angry,
another one may sooth your
mood or spark a feeling of
happiness. And that will
effect what you do in a
positive way. But what does it
require to initiate a certain
feeling? Whereas
neurobiological and
psychological research
provides some answers,
intuition plays still key role
in my exploration of the
connections between colors,
shapes and emotions.

Commissions for Christine Haehner Murdock:
|
|
|
Most commissions were either house/estate portraits or portraits of people.
Whereas the estate portrait focuses more on what is (or is important to the person, who lives in it), the people portrait can be done in two different ways: The two extreme ends are mind portraits and physical portraits.
The mind portrait can be rather abstract, just interpreting and showing the being, rather then the physical appearance of a person (e.g. Meikenei). The physical portrait focuses on what's in front of you and can be seen with your eyes (eg Hannah & Sandra). In either way, another decision has to be made: Is portrayed what actually is, or an aspect of the person's future. E.g. an aspiring musician might want to show him/herself with attributes that are connected with his success "in spe". There comes into play a metaphysical component of portraits: what you feed your eye (mind) with, influences your future. How a portrait is executed is a matter of discussion between the client and the artist, and depends on the function the portrait is supposed to fulfill.
