Architect Vittorio Simoni suggested to Terhills Hotel that I create paintings in their new meeting rooms. And so it happened. ;-)

Meeting room ‘Terhills’ is close to, and overlooks ‘the queen shaft’ of the former Eisden coal mine.

In situ kunstwerk ‘Look up’ :

The work “Look up” complements the imposing view one experiences here. A play of lines inspired by the head of the queen shaft that one just cannot see. In this work, the hues were created by mixing coal-based pigments from the various Limburg mining sites and applying them layer by layer to the wall. The gray concrete structure frames the different shades of black, something miners also experienced as they rose from the underground via the mine shaft.
