'Slow sorrow' is inspired by the gradual loss of something that is valuable to us, while we often only realize it afterwards.

About the veil that rapidly increasing technology places over our inner happiness, without us realizing it. The peace and space of our inner voice that is oppressed by the continuous flow of information, (fake) news, views and opinions, advertisements and flashy or brain-numbing videos.

Or the sadness about a slowly changing world. Nature turning gray, the sea empty, the sky angry and the trees silent. The slow loss of a loved one, maybe, due to an insidious but impactful illness.

'Slow sorrow' is a painting of all times. It represents the nostalgia of the man who thinks back with nostalgia to the time when children still played outside on the unpaved street with only a metal hoop, while the grocer on the corner only sold the strictly necessary, but always with personal attention. It also describes the nostalgia of the teenager who longs for the time when friends still played physically outside with each other instead of just through an avatar in their favorite game.

'Slow sorrow' is a painting that invites you to admit your sadness; your sadness at your loss in an increasingly fast-moving world. It is also a painting that invites you to pause for a moment. To experience the now, turn off the noise and provide space for the inner voice and embrace the happiness of your values ​​now. Before it becomes nostalgia and disappears into the slow sadness of the future.
