Jochem Mestriner
Oil on canvas decking wood

A typical for Jochem Mestriner is his processing of metamorphosis and shapeshifting subjects in his art works. “De Gedaanteverwisseling” reflects this technique through its dreamlike portrayal of birds. With such abstract depictions Mestriner opens the realm of the transcendental, inviting the viewer to imagine the fantastical possibilities levitating in the unknown. The monotone use of colour and depth as well as the rounded lines, transmit a calming sentiment that allows to dig deeper into the world of imagination.
