Saskia in the light

This is the invitation on the exhibition about Saskia van Rijn-Uylenburg, Rembrandt van Rijn's wife who died at a young age but was of great inspiration to the most important Golden Century Dutch artist.
World Art Delft invited international artists to get inspired by both Rembrandt and Saskia.
The opening is on june 11th at 15 hours .
Rotterdamseweg 28, Delft

I am participating with a portrait of a friend since I arrived in the Netherlands: Saskia van Amstel,
at the moment I met her she was the second Saskia a ever heard of, the first one was the wife of Rembrandt. And also what a coincidence both surnames describe a river. So Saskia was a name that I always found beatiful and related to art. When Paula Kouwenhoven invited me to this exhibition I thought automatically of making this portrait.
Saskia has already seen a photo of the painting and she sees herself there but inspired by Rembrandt.

Ayaan, Ayaan

Strange world we are living, Ayaan Hirsi Ali was a second chamber representative but more important some kind of a question maker in Dutch society (and internationally). Creating also questions about her own status. Now, after speedy meetings has been decided she has not even been Dutch, her passport and nationality were not 'legally acquired'. I don't understand it.

You shouldn't try either, it is one of these ‘very Dutch’ things that have no (easy) explanation, it is just like that!De Dutch are amazed, the world is flabbergasted. I am not amused about all this.
