Have you ever been in love? (I have, with S., E. and F. – not at the same time, fortunately.) And did you visit Tuscany then? (I did, with S. and F.) And did you drive around on a Vespa? (If I drive around on a Vespa, my love sitting behind, we end up in a Chianti ditch and spend the rest of our holiday in San Casciano’s hospital.) No, seriously: please do. Do, do, do. Fall, be in love in the Tuscan hills, it doesn’t get any better than that. It’s cliché, I know, - but there’s a reason for the obstinacy of clichés. Just try. These thoughts pass my mind while looking at Anouk Bijsterbosch’s drawings. She’s studying at the Florence Academy. Couple of days ago she was painting in the Florentine countryside, near the walls of Fiesole. (Read ‘A room with a view’, by E.M. Forster.) Btw don’t pass there on a Vespa: the hill is high and the ditches deep. Back to the drawings: after a busy day I come home, sit down, look at them. Meditate. It feels like coming home twice. I know, i know, we’ve had modernism, and then post(post)(post)modernism. And then even post services modernized, can you imagine? Postman Pat obliged to wear a helmet: that was the beginning of the end. (Drive with Postman Pat through the hills: no accidents will happen.) Moral values shifting, cynicism setting in like winter. Turmoil. But these drawings are the antidote: in spite of all modernisms part of us still breaths Renaissance. And we stand in awe of the mastery of course: once there was the child Anouk, drawing her first shaky line, and now… Look at her now. Harmony. Wonder. @anoukbijsterbosch /// In a week or two, dear readers, we’ll come up with some in depth interviews. Lazy talks about life, art and everything human. For the first one we visit London: Peter D’Alessandri. #untitledxxi #firenzeart #emforster #aroomwithaview #postmanpat #renaissanceart #artinterview #artcommunityofinstagram #artstories  #vespaworld #fiesole #renaissancedrawing

Currently she is working in Holland as a professional artist. Her works are included in the collection of the Russian Academy's Fund and in private collections in Athens (Greece), Dubai (United Arab Emitates), Ghent (Belgium), Amsterdam (NL).
