Berenbos

"Plein-air painting means for me that I try to capture the atmosphere of the moment in paint. When it has snowed and I am standing right there in a freezing winter landscape, exposed to the elements, that contributes crucially to the work. It’s cold, and I feel the cold. Everywhere I look, I see the cold; the specific colors in the thin air, the sounds are muffled, the water moves slowly. Because all the senses contribute to translating the image into paint, the work gains a 'soul.' Something that, for me, is only possible by actually immersing myself on-site in that atmosphere."
