YONAH DE BEER 

My name is Yonah de Beer and I run INSI art-studios. I was raised in a town close to Amsterdam and I am 27 years old. I have been raised by four homosexual parents, who came from a Jewish and Catholic heritage. Because of my upbringing, I have always felt like I stood outside the normative margins in society. I started painting to express; without prejudice of what is beautiful, without any sense of good or bad. I started using art as the language to express my individuality. My work is philosophy materialized. Art to me is also political, because the personal is political. I cannot purge my emotions/thoughts onto canvas without also reflecting on the ideology that gave shape to my perspective. My art tries to reflect on the interconnectedness of all things. Finally, my art is there to drown in. To drown in the thoughts that arise; which leads to interpretation. To drown in the feelings that occur; which leads to understanding the sentiment. To drown in the individual symbolism that it presents; which leads to understanding that you don’t understand. My aim in creating art is to reflect the world in such a way that it may change the world itself.
