Marc Spanjers. The Netherlands. Keep your hearts alive.

Painting, grafic/prints, photography, comics, writing etc

Been drawning, painting, making a mess since I was born. Painting on the street since 1989. On canvas since 1996.

I believe good Art (wich also can be "bad" art) is indeed something that is a long process within the artist itself and in big it reflects like nothing else the current time we live in. It is also a huge collaboration between human beings and a reaction to that society and the things that matter to the artist.

It should not become a trick or yust something "nice" but a process, a fight between the painter and the Paint, to keep it really interesting. At the same time we can't come up with something "totally" new every week.

It is a battle that is played out on canvas in where the painter also fights itself. It has to question what he/ she is doing and so can become one painting an answer to the other or a new vision etc. That is one the reasons my works are often really different in "style" and expression. I will always try not put up the same trick every time and I will use the best way/form to expres what I want to. Even if that means something completely new and I don't know if it will be any good. I believe that's at least a way to keep things happening and interesting. Keep on making this world a colourful one and keep your hearts alive.

Thanks for viewing the photos and reading this.
