This piece is created with acrylic paint and paint markers on a high quality linen canvas. On the back there is a steel wire attached to hang it properly on your wall. There is very minimal texture, only a little bit in the background because of the many layers of paint. I tend to create backgrounds with multiple layers of paint to give it depth and make it more interesting to look at. When the background is done, I start with painting the subject(s). Again with many layers to create more intensity and realism. About the painting itself and the title. “The first letter of each word P-R-D-S is taken, and vowels are added for pronunciation, giving the word PARDES (meaning ‘garden’ or ‘orchard’). Each layer is deeper and more intense than the last, like the layers of an onion.” It’s about the literal interpretation of a text (in this case a painting), and breaking it down to a more abstract interpretation. In the end it will be just a concept, with a more personal view on the subject. To visualize his interpretation of this concept, Rick used a combination of modern erotic imagery and natural elements, painted in bright colours. The composition itself is a little homage to classical paintings and sculptures. On the surface it seems therefore solely like a celebration of hedonism, but underneath there is a desire to reconnect with nature – and maybe even disconnect with our physical form. A theme that is common in the works of Rick. By exploring this painting more and more the spectator can unravel the hidden layers full of symbolism.

Rick van den Berg is a professional artist who makes both un-commissioned and commissioned works of art. The most common theme in Rick’s un-commissioned works is the power of dreams, imagination and fantasy. To express these themes he combines portraits, elements of nature, symbolism, geometry and organic abstractions. In his latest paintings he adds sexual images to this mix of elements, with a contemporary homage to classical paintings. It becomes a symbiosis between humans and nature in a universe where everything is interconnected. A world adhering to nature and following the flow of love.
