Recently Karen van de Vliet developed a new series titled "Like Waves". The works combine different parts of her artistic journey with evident structural elements, as well as an intriguing sense of depth resulting from an intuitive process of painting without a brush. Water, pigments, experimental materials and time result in eyecatching compositions.

In Translucent IX, Karen van de Vliet explores the unexpected beauty of a stain: an irregular form that seems accidental yet is carefully composed. Her fascination with such shapes began in childhood, through encounters with ordinary things that appeared both beautiful and slightly off, such as autumn leaves gathered in a puddle.
Translucent materials allow colours and traces from underlying layers to remain visible. Pale blue, black and off-white are interrupted by narrow lines and vivid accents of red, yellow and fluorescent pink. Some elements appear to flow downwards, while thicker areas of paint sit prominently on the surface. The result is a tactile abstract painting that shifts between movement and stillness, precision and chance.
