Original artwork description


This contemporary artwork is made with acrylics on fine linnen. Stretched on an aluminium stretcher. The sides are painted, so there is no need for a frame. Some of the handwritten texts are gilded with silver and gold colored foil. This makes the texts seem to appear and disappear depending on how the light falls on them.Inspiration:This painting reflects on Doggerland, the vast land that once connected Britain to continental Europe before it disappeared beneath the rising seas. This drowned landscape speaks not only of ancient history but also of our present time. Rising sea levels and climate change once again threaten coastlines, echoing the fate of this forgotten land. The work is layered with text in silver foil, ink, acrylic markers, and screen print. Words shimmer and fade depending on the light, just as memory and history shift between presence and absence. The reflective surfaces act like water: sometimes concealing, sometimes revealing. For me, Doggerland embodies both resilience and fragility. It was once a fertile corridor of life, later drowned by the unstoppable sea. In my work, I revisit this lost world not as a reconstruction, but as a mirror. What is drowned may return as a warning.Through this painting, I invite viewers to consider the landscapes we live in today: What will remain visible, and what stories will sink beneath the waves?
