I am focused and spontaneous when I paint in a way that is very liberating and timeless to my spirit. This mystical quality of the creative process is unlike any other life experience, and is part of the energy that is self nourishing.

Painting for me is a need; a way to express myself and at the same time to play and experiment with different colours and forms and in that process communicate what I feel. I like to draw and paint and work in different media, oils, acrylics, ink, and collage. In each media I find different […]
The Lonely Query: Art World Beef With Rachel de Joode
NY Arts: If you had the opportunity to start a playful Biggie/Tupac style art world beef, who would you choose to go after and why? Rachel de Joode: I would be Tupac and Biggie would be Jeff Koons. For one, I like to pick a fight with a contemporary archetypical male artist. Then, I guess […]

The field of possibilities seems endless and confusing until I look for a place to put a color, then another. A line might turn into a shape or ask for more color. Once it starts, the balance swings from my hand to the painting. What does it want; equivalence, harmony, or is tension part of […]

Versatility summarizes my artistic development and personality. I am experimenting with various techniques, and mixing colors and materials, aiming to convey a mixture of suggestive color and expressionist brush works to generate feelings and emotions. My work is generated by spontaneous gesture-driven brushstrokes, transparencies, and the superposition of layers. The dripped paint technique evokes melancholic […]
