Since 1989 Josévan works in Amsterdam and - twice a year - in Berlin. Studying tours within and outside Europe have changed their view of reality clearly. The artist is intensely working on the idea of man and his deeds, she takes a strong interest in questions such as "why there is war, why fascism is in the minds, what lies behind graffiti, man in the search for power”.
She uses commodities or pictures of buildings, which have their own story, of everyday objects or structures, often in combination with text or picture language: it gives them a new life and conveys a new action.
Josévan Tubergen is currently working predominantly with the media of photography combined with graphic techniques on canvas; color and texture are the main elements in her work - her long training of diverse technical skills becomes very useful.
