2025 en verder....
During covid I began to make jewellery, because performances stopped. I enjoyed sharing them later. Beauty does touch the soul deeply and connects us with our best-selves.
Now I am slowly going back into singing, in groups like European Friends orchestra & singers. We just did Brahms Requiem and Magnificat, both moving music.
Slowly I also return again to some solos with diverse musicians. Before covid I was used to sing a lot of inspiring Lieder and songs with gifted collegues in small settings, great to feel it returning.
Meanwhile I have been doing research which led to writing a movie script called Elegancy in times of religious wars. Where did that come from?
A search for the divine feminine!
For twenty years I did a lot of historical European research for plays that were performed in my country. Often female queens were important figures on stage/semi opera. This time I felt I needed to build a bridge more globally. Suddenly the goddess Lakshmi showed up and connected French history with the India movieindustry. I learned so much, because I did not know anything about it! I 'm now seeking a way to get the funny and lively script into the right hands. It needs a bit of trust and patience. There were a lot of Synchronicitie already!
I'm also involved in organizing a local Pasar Malam with Indonesian people in the neighbourhood. (When my son gets children, they will be half-Indonesian.)
I made lots of small watercolours during my researches, especially in France and at the seaside near The Hague.
I'm working on a new sculpture, that will be part of the exhibition in spring 2026 with the cultural platform of Soest
Mijn laatste boek 'Het verhaal van riddermonnik Guilhaume d'Orange deel I De veldslag tegen de Saksen' is uitgekomen. Een kleine oplage die speciaal vormgegeven is wordt momenteel te koop aangeboden
Het is een episch verhaal over de grote (kerk)hervormingen onder Karel de Grote en Benedictus van Aniane en de positie van Guilhaume d'Orange tussen hen in. Het speelt in het jaar 804 n Chr.
