For Nout: A Tribute Through Art, Healing, and the Power of 33

The project “For Nout” is a tribute to my beloved twin brother, Nout Schepman, who left us far too soon on August 19, 2024. Nout was a remarkable soul who left the world a little more beautiful and loving. While painting my last two pieces for the United World in Diversity project, I realized that I was unconsciously more focused on grieving than on the country I was painting. This felt like a disservice to both Nout and the United World in Diversity project, which is why I decided to start a new initiative: the project “For Nout.”

Through this project, I aim to process my grief while also honoring the person Nout was. Nout strongly believed in the power of the master number 33. Therefore, I have decided to create 33 paintings, each painted to the beat of one of Nout’s favorite songs, or a song I intuitively select that relates to my mourning. Each painting is a form of abstract, intuitive expression, in which I capture my emotions about Nout and the loss on canvas. By playing the song on repeat while painting, I enter a trance-like state where I feel deeply connected to him.

For the paintings, I exclusively use organic oil paints and natural, sustainable products, in line with Nout’s love for nature. More information on this can be found at naturalearthpaint.eu.

For Nout: A Tribute Through Art, Healing, and the Power of 33

For Nout is a deeply personal and emotional art project dedicated to my beloved twin brother, Nout Schepman, who passed away far too soon on August 19, 2024. This project is not just about mourning but also about honoring the love, compassion, and light that Nout brought into the world.

Healing Through Art and Music

While completing my final two paintings for the United World in Diversity project, I realized that my focus had shifted toward grief rather than the intended artistic expression. In response, I felt compelled to create a new initiative—one that channels my emotions into a meaningful artistic tribute. Thus, the For Nout project was born.

This project consists of 33 abstract, intuitive paintings, each inspired by one of Nout’s favorite songs or a song that resonates with my grieving process. By playing each track on repeat while painting, I enter a trance-like state, allowing emotions, memories, and love to flow freely onto the canvas.

The Significance of the Master Number 33

Nout deeply believed in the power of the master number 33, which symbolizes:

  • Compassion and healing
  • Higher consciousness and spiritual growth
  • Love, courage, and selflessness
  • The “Christ vibration” – the highest form of love energy

People associated with 33 often dedicate themselves to serving others, whether in their community, society, or nature. This number represents universal love, a principle that guided Nout’s life and now inspires this tribute.

Sustainable, Nature-Inspired Art

To align with Nout’s love for nature, all 33 paintings are created using organic oil paints and natural, sustainable materials. These eco-friendly elements reflect his values and ensure that each artwork is as authentic and environmentally conscious as possible. Learn more about these materials at Natural Earth Paint.

Honoring Nout’s Legacy Through Art

Through For Nout, I hope to:

🌿 Process my grief through creative expression
🎵 Celebrate Nout’s love for music and its emotional depth
💙 Share his message of love, compassion, and selflessness with the world

Each painting is more than just art—it is a visual representation of loss, love, and healing. By experiencing this project, I invite others to reflect on the people they cherish and the enduring connection between art, emotion, and memory.
