Biography:
 |
Our emotions sweep us along and experiencing them like sailing a vast sea without detailed maps our instruments of navigation. No star is present to show us the direction and past experience only partly offers us a guide for the future. We surmise an interplay between our dark and our light sides and discover that on the canvas they somehow reach a state of harmony. This is the cause that the spectacle of our existence yet never robs us of hope. [Frans Jeursen] |
 |
Onze emoties overvallen ons en het beleven ervan is als het bevaren van een uitgestrekte zee zonder kaarten of navigatie instrumenten. Geen ster geeft ons de richting aan en ervaring is slechts in zeer beperkte mate een leidraad voor de toekomst. We hebben
het vermoeden van een samenspel tussen onze duistere en onze lichte kanten
en zien hoe ze op het linnen toch op een of andere wijze in harmonie met
elkaar komen te verkeren. Dat maakt dat het schouwspel van ons bestaan
ons toch nooit berooft van de hoop. [Frans Jeursen] |
