Interwoven Identities 3

This artwork is an abstract expression of van den hooven’s exploration of the human condition in the modern world. Using a mixed media style in watercolour and wax pencil, van den hooven has created a vibrant and dynamic composition that captures the complexity and diversity of human experiences.

The overlapping faces and eyes represent the multiple perspectives and identities that shape our reality, as well as the challenges of finding our own voice and place in society. Through this piece, van den hooven invites you, the viewer, to reflect on your own sense of self and belonging in a chaotic and ever-changing world.

Here the artist has chosen a warm and rich color palette to contrast with the light gray background, suggesting a sense of passion, energy, and resilience in the face of adversity.

This artwork features several real vermillion (cinnabar) rouge spots. This is a special historical pigment which exhibits a much nicer hue without being too intense or overpowering.

This horizontal panoramic watercolour abstract portrait is a continuation of a series on internal human organs. Other artworks in this series include inanimate objects, but this artwork only facial features and a limited number of organs, because it is essentially a portrait.
