Corine van Voorbergen is an intuitive artist. Through her minimalistic round art forms she focusses on the idea of eternal movement. In her current series 'Through the Brass Eye of the Beholder' she evokes a certain feeling in the viewer through her use of colour, visual depth, texture and natural flow. “I aim to express different emotions and thoughts through my art, at the same time also leaving room for interpretation”. The techniques Corine uses not only draws the beholder in to take a closer look, but also encourages them to take a step back and observe the piece as a whole. Corine constructs her art pieces with layers of different mediums including acrylic paint, natural pigment powder and ink. She finishes the work off with a thin layer of epoxy. The epoxy reflects the surroundings back to the beholder, stimulating them to reflect on what they see and more importantly what they feel. Each piece is encased in a brass ring. Each brass ring is hand-polished, in a way, caressed like a lover. Corine has chosen to brush and polish the brass rings manually, this process symbolises the embrace and repetitive giving of love and attention. Like love this has “imperfections" when you look closer. You can almost see where each stroke starts and ends.
Within the series 'Through the Brass Eye of the Beholder' Corine's work follows two streams, namely 'Captured Movement' and 'Monos'. For the 'Captured Movement' pieces Corine creates shapes and flow with different mediums and encourages the chemical reactions between these mediums. Pieces in this series are often inspired by nature and so Corine adds materials from nature, including wood, crushed shells and ash to support the visualisation and storytelling. In her 'Monos' pieces, emotion is front and centre. A monochromatic colour scheme is used with varied textures to evoke a strong emotion or trigger a thought process within the viewer.
