Lost... Or not?
Door Aurora, 2003
70cm x 100cm
A forest is the place where vegetable life thrives, free from any human cultivation. And since its foliage obscures the light of the sun, it's regarded as not the sun’s power but a symbol of the earth. In Druid mythology, the forest was given to the sun in marriage. Here the newlyweds are lost in the forest and come upon a signpost which only reads gibberish like; here, there, back again, and heaven is pointing downwards. Is heaven here? And can you even be lost when what you truly desire is right there, holding your hand; your beloved... The forest is also a mysterious place, in fairy tales they're usually inhabited by mysterious and unearthly creatures. Here two forest gnomes are visibly wondering what these humans are doing in their habitat.

Over Aurora
My artist name is Aurora after the Goddess of Light, the Bringer of Dawn after the dark night of the soul. I’m an Amsterdam-based artist, all my works are oil paintings on canvas as I paint images in the tradition of magical realism with loads of symbolism and using the traditional oil painting techniques of the old Dutch masters.
