Mental anguish
My earlier work focused on deconstructing human forms to explore my internal conflict, but has since evolved beyond my personal story to include the exterior realm. Now it is intentionally symbolic, encouraging viewers to explore their own interpretation within each piece. I believe illustration is a unique visual language that can help us articulate and explore complex issues. It gives me a way to connect to and inspire others with vibrancy and creativity. There is also solace in the mindful process of creating. It uplifts me and allows me to quell my restless mind; pressing me to persevere when things become bleak Could the organs highlight the internal struggles we face in navigating the chaos of the modern world?

Interwoven Identities 1
This panoramic watercolour artwork is a continuation of a series on internal human organs. Other artworks in this series include inanimate objects, but this artwork only includes facial features because it is essentially a portrait. This artwork features four real vermillion (cinnabar) rouge spots. I chose this special pigment because I believe that many synthetic orange pigments are too intense, over-saturated. It's also the first van den hooven to explicitly feature coloured "eyeshadow" regions (in this case, cobalt green).
