Often people look, but they do not see the essence. There is so much to discover in art: light, layers, dimensions, emotions, together with design. It can broaden your horizons enormously.
Henk van Hemert investigates the complexity of human existence by identifying parallels between paradoxical ideas about violence, innocence, guilt and shame. The human figure acts as a central element  in his compositions, the energetic way in which he places the figure on the canvas reflects the relationship between painting and painter, suggesting images that struggle to emerge fully and reveal themselves.
General feelings about interpersonal relationships and relationships between humans and animals are and remain the source of inspiration for his art.
