Leen Spaans painted dilapidated villages, houses, stone structures, landscapes, seen from a great height. Signs that humans leave behind. Spanish tried to make some of it visible in his work. A collage of colors and symbols, used in combination with different techniques, each representing a concept. The earth, time, space; the process of decay and renewal. The essence of Spaans' work is philosophical. Spaans likes to work in relief and - with a few exceptions - always uses metal foil in his paintings.
