LATEST WORK
"mantle ablaze"
New mantles, reignited fire & passion for a new time.
In the Bible, a mantle is a covering of - or empowerment of… an important role or responsibility; a task, assignment, or gift that is specific to the person it is placed upon.
A clear example in the Bible is the mantle of the prophet. From the New Testament it is my understanding that as a believer in Christ we all have a call, mantle of God on our live (1 Pet. 4:10-11) We are called priests, and the mantle is our God-given gift(s).
It is time to pick up the mantle(s) and authority God gives us.
For this is a season of grace, new upgrades, reignited fire & passion, and great fruitfulness as we tap in to The Source with renewed & deeper dedication.
Things that are not yet seen, heard, or perceived are to be revealed, released, and resources made available.
To break into the new, we first have to break away from the old and familiar.

About ME
Lydia van Knijff
Travelling, discovering and experiencing new places is something I love to do. Immerse my senses in new experiences of experiencing, hearing, seeing and feeling. Discover and breathe beauty, but also find peace and Solitude. A place of rest and deepening, is precious in our fleeting society.
Also on canvas, I like to travel, through colours, structures, a mix of materials and techniques. A process of discovery, experience, deepening and freedom. I usually don’t know in advance what I’m going to make, so my compositions are often not thought out or sketched out in advance. Working intuitively is characteristic of my process.
It is during the “journey” on the canvas that I pause to reflect on a form or colour that has arisen, through which a theme, subject and the final destination emerge. Some of my paintings are created by a quick fleeting way of working. A kind of “speed painting”. Other works take more time and are a process of searching, discovering and of deeper “stirring” that come to the surface. Both processes are intuitive and often give insight to the mind afterwards and let (new) light shine on everyday life with its height and depth points, uncertainties and questions, small and large. Hope & Faith are also important themes during the journey
“Art with movement and life, that touches deeply the heart and causes the mind to ponder meditatively.”
