Human Family
I note the obvious differences
in the human family.
Some of us are serious,
some thrive on comedy.
Some declare their lives are lived
as true profundity,
and others claim they really live
the real reality.
The variety of our skin tones
can confuse, bemuse, delight,
brown and pink and beige and purple,
tan and blue and white.
I've sailed upon the seven seas
and stopped in every land,
I've seen the wonders of the world
not yet one common man.
I know ten thousand women
called Jane and Mary Jane,
but I've not seen any two
who really were the same.
Mirror twins are different
although their features jibe,
and lovers think quite different thoughts
while lying side by side.
We love and lose in China,
we weep on England's moors,
and laugh and moan in Guinea,
and thrive on Spanish shores.
We seek success in Finland,
are born and die in Maine.
In minor ways we differ,
in major we're the same.
I note the obvious differences
between each sort and type,
but we are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.
We are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.
We are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.
Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
Geboren in Jakarta, opgegroeid in Haarlem, opgeleid in Den Haag, Rotterdam en Amsterdam. Geinspireerd door kleine meesters voel ik me aangetrokken door het simpele en het alledaagse. Schilderijen in olieverf, realistisch met een losse toets, en in een sfeer van weemoed, dreiging, of verwondering. Geen boodschap, geen pretenties, slechts een gevoel.
Hoewel opgeleid aan kunstacademies in Den Haag en Rotterdam, waar ik in praktische zin gevorm ben, komt mijn innerlijke vorming zeker ook voort uit latere studies filosofie en psychologie en vele jaren werkervaring in hulpverlening aan oorlogsgetroffenen en kinderen in nood. Als pensionado ben ik weer teruggekeerd op mijn oude stek, schilderen, uitdrukking geven aan iets waarvan ik nog steeds geen idee heb wat dat zou moeten zijn. De zoektocht gaat voort.
