The introduction of Tintin is an ironic reference, an alternative visual language that adds flavor to Jessica and her adventures.
“A man who is accustomed to getting what he wants—or is it the other way around? Who holds the leash, and who is in charge of whom? With Tintin, Snowy is unconditionally loyal; in real life, things are more complex. It is up to the viewer’s personal interpretation.

I try to create a space where the viewer, as Jung suggests, is not just looking but drawn inward, perhaps touching deeper layers of the psyche. I try to evoke archetypes and symbols of relationships, inviting discovery rather than providing answers. Elements like color, form, and structure encourage the viewer to look beyond the visible, into what may be hidden or absent. Using their imagination, they might encounter their own anima or animus within, engaging in an inner dialogue shaped by both presence and absence.

The work draws inspiration from Menuet, a book by Louis-Paul Boon. Like a key, the painting turns around a single act: the eating of olives. It serves as a potent cultural symbol, long associated with desire since antiquity—and here, on canvas, it becomes the unreachable sensuality of a dance for three.
As Boon writes, in a moment charged with ambiguity and desire:
“…en de man wist dat hij tussen haar lippen en de lippen van de ander niet meer wist wie hem streelde, wie hem vroeg, wie hem eiste, en of het zijn vlees was of de zonde zelf die daar tussen de tanden glansde.”
(“…and the man no longer knew, between her lips and the lips of the other, who caressed him, who invited him, who demanded him, or whether it was his flesh or sin itself that gleamed there between the teeth.”)
