A young boy shares a moment with his chameleon atop a hill.
Perched upon a swing that overlooks a picturesque vista of a serene lake and majestic pines, the boy and his chameleon symbolize curiosity and perspective. As the boy gazes into the horizon, he reflects upon his own life, where every stroke holds the promise of a future yet to unfold.
The chameleon, a master of transformation, embodies the essence of flexibility, mirroring the boy's own journey of self-discovery. Together, they remind us of the dynamic interplay between the developing self and the ever-changing world, where each moment is an opportunity for growth and transformation. In this moment of stillness, the boy's thoughts ebb and flow, and the swing sways gently beneath him.
The artwork beckons viewers to contemplate their own journeys, to embrace the chameleon within, and to savour life's unfolding.
Related themes
As an artist working across multiple mediums, including oil, watercolor, acrylics, and textiles, Afke's work is rooted in exploring the emotional aspects of diversity and exclusion, abandonment and inclusion, loneliness and connection.
Through her paintings, she seeks to capture the raw emotions that arise from these themes, inviting the viewer to contemplate their own experiences and feelings. Whether working with the fluidity of watercolors or the boldness of acrylics, Afke strives to create pieces that are both striking and thought-provoking.
In her textile work, she is particularly drawn to the tactile nature of the medium and the meditative state that arises from working with fabric. She uses fabric and thread to explore the ways in which she connects with others, and the world at large. By stitching together fragments of cloth, she creates a visual representation of the interconnectedness of all things.
Her work is deeply personal, yet it is also universal. It speaks to the human experience and the emotions that we all share. Through her art, she hopes to create a space for reflection and connection, where viewers can explore their own feelings of exclusion, loneliness, and abandonment, and find comfort and understanding in the shared experiences to gain feelings of inclusion and connection.
