This painting is about a girl who, like most people, was born in a world where she didn't understand the people around her but slowly learned. Nothing is fascinating about that. It is very intriguing, actually, just not extraordinary at all. But then, one day, (not so) out of nowhere (after taking a magical flying machine to the other side of the world), she lost the ability to communicate. For months, she lived confused until she met me, a long-legged man who didn't understand much -- except that she was colorful. And I wanted to capture that as quickly as I could. To better understand it and to make sure I would never lose it. However, without saying anything, when I showed her the painting, she left me. I'm unsure what she meant by that. Perhaps seeing herself be understood scared her away, or maybe she was just offended by my portrayal of her. That's all.

Best Museum In Den Bosch

I've visited most museums in the Netherlands but this is by far the best one—a lot of art, and a unique and intimate setting. If you're visiting Den Bosch I would recommend a visit.

Consistently changing, and always doing things I've never seen anywhere else. Experimentation for a reason, always going somewhere interesting.
