Ad Vos is an exploration of energy, emotion, and the relationship between humanity and the natural world. Through bold, fiery hues and dynamic brushwork, the painting conveys a sense of disruption and chaos, echoing the impact of human activity on the environment. While the intense colour contrasts suggest movement and volatility, the work does not dictate a single interpretation—rather, it invites contemplation on our collective presence in and effect on the world around us.

The choice of frame is integral to the piece. Crafted from aged, woodworm-effect timber, it stands in contrast to the man-made destruction hinted at within the composition. This juxtaposition highlights the natural cycle of decay and renewal—an organic process that differs starkly from humanity’s often short-sighted interventions.

Ad Vos serves as a moment of reflection. It encourages the viewer to pause, observe, and consider their own relationship with the environment, sustainability, and responsibility.
