My way to the market in Utrecht on Saturday morning was unexpectedly enjoyable. On the train, I got accompanied by a friendly stranger. He kept telling joyful stories. He goes over his first iPhone, which his father bought for him. We could impossibly ignore him as he was so enthusiastic. He really made some of us laugh.
Though the great expectation was yet to come.
You walk straight into the Hoog Catharijne mall as you leave the station. Usually, on weekends, it is a big crowd. When least expected, you meet this exhibition of Mathieu Klomp. A deer and a man. I was astonished by such an impressive and detailed work, so I thought I would share it with you.
“A viewer who feels inspired by a perceived content is just as valuable to me as one who is surprised by technique or form. I make a point of reaching out to the viewer and inciting response at different levels.” – Mathieu Klomp
Autumn has arrived and the surroundings have transformed into stunning orange-pink tones from once being abundant with greenery. Despite climate change, mid-month temperatures hover around 20 to 23 degrees Celsius, creating an ideal environment for outdoor activities. Recently, I attended a Brazilian consulate event and then proceeded to a social gathering at “Samba de Quintal,” where I savoured the enchanting voice of Heloise Baylão and mastered the art of crafting the delectable Brazilian dish, “Escondidinho.”
“Escondidinho”, well how to transplante it to English, means something hidden. The dish has as base mashed potato, mincemeat and various toppings on choice but all done in the Brazilian way. The recipe was carefully explained by Cristina owner of the delightful cuisine Bom Sabor do Brasil .
