It was not my intention to paint persons and interiors. Only suggestions with light/dark and shadows.

'Dream'

In a wheelchair, just inside the door,
you looked even older and frailer,
winding your handkerchief around your wrist
as usual. I stole past, thinking
you wouldn't notice me. But you had seen:
your hand was now on my arm and, smiling,
you addressed me by someone else's name.
So I asked how you were feeling, and you said,
as you'd always said, 'Better than I should
at this stage of my life.' And smiled again.

Jan Aanstoot is a contemporary Dutch painter. He started with realistic landscape paintings, but bit by bit the landscapes lost their horizon and their structure of creating space, and his work became expressionistic and abstract.

The relationship between image and reality, art's possible transcendental nature, the relationship between rationality and intuition, and the interpretation of the meaning of a piece of art are all issues that Jan Aanstoot cannot easily ignore. He believes that the connection between spirituality and painting lies in something completely different: spirituality is a way of dealing with one's own freedom, aversion to conformism, and constant search for the right image. It's a state of being unbound that's mirrored in the artwork.

Jan Aanstoot was born in 1948, in the Netherlands, where he graduated at the Academy of Art in Arnhem. He has exhibited in Holland, France, Italy, Switzerland and Dubai.
