After painting the Shapes series, Meike van Riel discovers a new fascination. In her work, suggestions of landscapes appear more and more frequently, images that focus on the horizon of a seascape.
During this process, the realization grows that the sea can serve as a metaphor for a new theme: freedom. From this idea, she translates her observations into abstract compositions, in which a clear concept forms the foundation.
The horizon is depicted as a sharp line or a subtle division within the whole.
