This painting is about the creation of the world, the start of it all. Based also on the Edda, the Nordic mythology.
Shapes are beginning to form, and in some corners, there’s what you can call “first evidence of possible life”.
110 x 100 cm, oil on canvas.
This painting is called “Preformation”. Not too long ago, scientists thought that the human embryo, the baby, was a tiny version of a grown human being. Waiting in the sperm cell. And just had to grow (in the womb of the woman ofcourse).
I also read a lot about “the Edda”, a very old book about the creation of the world (Nordic mythology). This is also a theme a use sometimes.
And explains the environment the sperm cell is “floating” in, in this painting.
