"Over the last ten years, walks in North America, Asia, Scandinavia and Europe have shown me breathtaking landscapes and sites of incredible natural beauty. For me, physical walking and inner motion are metaphors for each other. I want to go on discovering and searching for variety and potential in myself and in my subject. The source of my material is nature and its phenomena.
The inspiration of an exotic yet brutal environment is translated into large format charcoal and chalk drawings. The image emerges in the balance between the act of drawing and the urge to depict reality." (Erik Odijk)
