🍵 Coffee 'N Sketch // 4 // Funky Doodle

Interesting to learn your first impression and a second more ''in depth'' interpretation. Thank you for that, someone else's perspective gives me more insight.

What inspires the geometry here?

Im not really sure. I guess it started with the term Horror Vacui, which is an ancient Latin term for the fear of empty space. It was used on old pottery as decoration. When I learned about it, quite some years ago, it really intrigued me.

The reason why my shapes look like these is probably my search for simplicity and structure. I'm a big overthinker; making these help to visualise the chaos into a organised chaos and relieves the mind.

Thank you for your time!

My girlfriend is a collector and loves to have things everywhere, claiming her fear of empty spaces, so I’m familiar with the term regarding interior spaces. I’m looking at your work and realizing that maybe I have the same fear too, but my spaces are paper, canvas and IPad screens where I create my work.

Oh, that's interesting, to have the actual feeling in the space around you. You have a point on having a blank canvas, yet at the same time it also creates room to visualise. I like how all these things can have such a contradicting impact on each other.
