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.
