paint alchemy
Harrie creates her paints by blending various pigments and binding mediums, resulting in a unique color signature and texture palette. Her hands-on approach gives her complete control over the process, allowing to experiment and bring her unique shades and tones to life. Her artwork is not only visually but also reflects the soul of an artist who paints her dreams with vibrant, self-made hues.
FREE FLOW EXPRESSION
Creating art without a predetermined outcome allows for unexpected surprises and delving into the subconscious, resulting in an authentic expression of emotions and ideas that reflects the artist's inner world. This method encourages experimentation, playfulness, and a departure from traditional planning, leading to a more spontaneous and genuine artistic process.
Aphantasia is a rare condition that prevents individuals from visualizing mental images. For Harrie, this condition has improved her creative process by relying on immediate sensory experiences, impulse and intuition. This fosters a more spontaneous and unique approach to her artwork, resulting in unplanned and distinctive outcomes on the canvas. Harries' direct connection between emotions and the physical act of painting has led her on a journey into abstract expressionism.
