To create a painting like this, I start with one decisive line, in this case the yellow-orange crescent shape that is wound up in the blue violet rope. The rest of the painting followed the form of the initial element. I dropped some water on top of the painting by accident, which suddenly made it look like clouds, and so I went with the blue and white background to give it a light and airy feeling. Another theme was to juxtapose like colours, for example brown next to red, dark yellow next to light yellow, and blue next to green. To name this painting I was thinking about the laboratory budget, but also the budget of ideas. We know roughly how much money we have in an account, but do we know how many creative ideas we have left?
