P A R A D E

A new series of sculptures is now evolving. I use several new materials like aluminium or solid marble. Also, I like to get funky with some new colourshades! The sky is the limit. The maritime shapes this year are sculptural and more abstract. I feel incredibly inspired and I can’t wait to show you my newest ships, here on my website or at my studio. Keep you updated, beware of the PARADE….

In these series of paintings I focus mainly on the size of a ship. The incredible experience of raw steel and volume. The force, and the pure power. How does that make you feel? Romantic? Yes m’ am. ‘Nature’ is big and ‘man’ is small. Now, change ’nature’ for ‘ship.

A SENSE OF SHIP

Translucent colorful sculptures. Dynamically shaped. This is characteristic of how I see the world. Colorful and light. With these contemporary maritime shapes, known for anyone because these ships travel the globe. Inspired by these well known forms and shapes I create my own distinguished narrative. A chronicle about departure, hope, loss. The ship as a metaphor for vigour, desire and life.

DELTA WORKS

“I’m also fascinated by the huge size of the Dutch Delta Works and the Zeeland Bridge. Man is small and builds big things in an attempt to stop nature for a while. That gives me a romantic feeling.”

— Sasja

“The painting UNBOUNDED is about the big flood in 1953. The ‘Watersnoodramp’. Dutch engineers had the wonderful idea to take the caissons from the Normandian coast , used as Mulberry harbors by the Allied during WW II - to Holland. They placed these concrete caissons and fixed the hole in the dyke.”

KALYPSO-SERIES

“To me, it’s all about color. About rhythm. About seeing what it is, yet letting the abstract value of the painting dominate. It’s not about the picture, it’s about the dynamics of applying the paint. That generates meaning.
”

— Sasja Hagens

“Kalypso; a fierce anthology of industrial and landscape elements. In my paintings I’m giving my vision of our future landscape. How will our environment develop through influences of science and new technologies?”
