There are no people in the paintings of Thijmen, but people are in it because of the artificial light he paints. “The question is: how do you as a human being to nature. I think man is far too dominant in nature. I also made a painting of nature with the moon, but I think it should wring a bit, that it raises questions. That is why I think it is important that artificial light comes into the work.”
Thijmen is Nacht painter: ‘You walk out the door and discover the mystery’
