« In my paintings, I want to convey the existential feeling of being human by exploring the interface of strength and vulnerability. »
Lia Kok's works explore the questions around dealing with challanges that surround nature and mankind.
What at first glance seems to refer to sheer natural beauty, can at second glance also pose questions. Details that look beautiful to the eye, can sometimes hide their potential destructive nature, like certain viruses and cells.
Nature however always finds ways to adapt and survive; finding new forms and new ways.
Nature in the work of Kok serves as a metaphore for mankind. Do we reflect, adapt and change in the face of challenges? Do we survive in a physical and psychological sense? If yes, how? If not, why?
The reflective stage plays the main role in the paintings that depict humans.
The work also aims to catch a glimpse of the mystery that surrounds all live.
Kok's artistic expression is a milieu between the figurative and the abstract.
She utilizes mixed media, mainly employing acrylics and oils, sometimes combining collage, embroidery, oil pastels and resin.
