I love to bring small and big issues and questions of our everyday life into my paintings and I love to do this in a rather 'playful' way . My paintings are also inspired by personal memories and thoughts about life in general. The use of a specific color scheme adds a feeling of idealization and sentiment to my art. Some of my paintings are permeated with an idealized vision of the world others are filled with second thoughts and questions. For me , painting is a way of blogging, an attempt to depict a transient moment in liberty of interpretation. I want to make use of this liberty as much as possible to avoid my work becoming predictable. The 'people' in my paintings are my 'characters', my persona that's why I knowingly not always give them realistic skintones or photographic representation of the faces even so I had a classical portrait from life education and love to draw and paint realistic portraits. I put a lot of time in the detailed underdrawing which I do on the old fashion way inspired by the Old Masters even it is time consuming it is the way I prefer to work . http://www.atelierdeboram.com follow me on instagram @debora_missoorten

Why do people behave quite differently if they suddenly think that someone is "important"?

Often we don't realize how huge a pet can be through the eyes of a child , for some it can be frightening but for others it just looks atrctive and cosy . Animals are a very good compagnion for us human beings.

When you're reading a book you can feel transported to a completely different place, a kind of parallel world. The owls are the symbols of wisdom, 3 readers, 2x3 owls, the number 3 refers to the devine trinity, as the saying goes "all good things consist of 3 " I used this color scheme to enhance the feeling of imaginary realism.

A boattrip in a small boat reminds us normally of a beautiful summer, pleasure and fun but alas it seems for a lor of people the only way to escape to a better and safer place in the world thinking of all the refugees.

Inspired by the painting 'Self-portrait with masks' by Ensor I wondered why and for what reason people sometimes hide or disguises themselves behind 'masks'.In 2012 I already made a few sketches but for some reason I put the idea on hold just until now it turned out the time was right . I wanted to reflect the evolution how nature, animals and we humans adapt and behave in situations on which we have no control and how we are connected with each other .Those who are familiar with my work know that the pinguin occasionally intrudes into my paintings .. it is my way of depicting a serious matter with a wink. The title is a reflection to the book I once read by Aldous Huxly.
