paintings

The poetic paintings of Mieke Mens are layered and lived through, they show a search that is accompanied by doubt and rejection but also playfulness and humor.

She herself says: "When out of the excitement and frustration during the painting process suddenly an image arises that touches me, the delicate process of deciding what parts will stay or not begins. Then the work gradually receives light and oxygen, it comes into being".
