Els Tjong Joe Wai - Paramaribo, Surinam

 

Watercolors, oils, acrylics and drawings of landscapes, views, nature and models made in Greece, The Netherlands and Surinam.

The chapter “Compositions” shows collages composed of cuttings of drawings, watercolors and acrylics. They are my 2008 way of looking on my neighbourhood in Mani.

“Portraits” contains a series of watercolors called “Split”. The term “Spagaat” or “Split” originating from ballet is sometimes used in the figurative sense, meaning: being in a difficult position. The works shown here are about a not so pleasant mood or mental state caused by personal awkwardness.

Most of my work is exhibited in "Που Πας;", gallery for contemporary art, located in Areopoli, Peloponnesos, Greece.
