Harold Sikkema

I create images that fuse tactile media with the freedom of electronic expression. These digital paintings make accessible not only a visual-theological discourse, but also the playful aesthetic that my Reformed faith encourages: an inventive meshing of our fallen world’s textures towards cohesion and unity within a redemptive story. By digitally blending paintings and drawings with what I call the “photographic brushstroke”, I respond to such themes as language, time, growth, and resurrection. My organic fusion of the particular within the general facilitates visually poetic spiritual reflection through the experience of a rich and sensory theological vitality.
