Soulmate (2022) Painting by Amadusa

My fiery spirit is looking to connect to mainstraim society and infect the human beings within it, with a sweet lit of their inner light. Though art. Though play.

  My way to live inside out is though art. I create art for myself and inspire others to create freely in my playart home, at the coast of beautiful Mangel Halto. For me all expression is art. Singing, dancing, writing, living, heart to heat massages, food and conversation. We live in times that are highly disconning. True art and creation are the healing tools for humanity.  Art is the journey that creates connection to our inner humanness. We are born with the urge to be kind, to create, to care in compassion. Somehow, we are all programmed to think this qualitys are poor man choices and building roads is more imported than jamming a song together. Meanwhile we take pills to keep up, and share our intimite lives in an office at the psychologist (with ticking clock), dealing with the copingskills we need to survive in this disconnected world. Im fighting cluster B society with my swords of bruches, feathers and inkt. Its all I can do. 

My playart methode is made for survival of play and art. By play in art, even a grownup can feel their inner kid come to live, we all host an artist inside. Though play, art is excessible to eveyone, its toucheble, the smell, the colours, the textures, the little glimmers of inspiration and we are allowed to be and play how we want with it. My playart concepts are like an anti-brand. Everyone, everywhere can repeat them freely. It would make my happy as can be! 

I use limitation and exception to create context and order in a world of free creation. 

In my personal work, I often use many layers. Though the ridged use of one layer over the whole painting, after every layer a new world comes to life. I keep life in my paintings and scenes start to grow trough my own wonder, layer by layer. 

Currently I work on a bird collection where I combine my free layered work with more realistic painted birds (eagle, caracara, pelican etc). The symbolism of the birds tell me where I am and reach to in life. Im reaching in my own power and start to fly. I start to oversee. Step into my power. 

Im an artist by heart, an artist in mind, a human thats soul screams to create what we all seem to miss these days. Connection to the self, to our humanity. Be kind. Create. Play. Care. My artspace is a place where I allow all human to be. Like a neighbor, in a conversation in time without a clock. In a space where they can make up their own dreams and creare them. Its a h(e)art practice. 

Next to my own creation, Ive been creating other spaces to host community though art and play. Last year I set up an artistic community airbnb with a bar and daily healing program. 

I like a challence for the good. For the gathering. For the inmagination. For the play of it. 

I try not to judge any outcome. Art is the journey I live.
