Lives in Amersfoort

 

It is night. There is a man awake in the forest, scurrying along, placing one careful footstep after another in the dark, a large back pack full of drawing supplies on his back and a wooden board under his arm. We shouldn’t be here – or should we? The forest by night is no scary place. There are trees, their barks drawn in shades of darkness on their backs. There are puddles of shimmering water. And if there are no clouds, there are starry skies arching over you and all the world. you sit still, your thoughts go silent, your eyes open wide, drinking in what little light there is, and then you draw. And the rest is silence. – Text by Michiel Westbeek
