Art Exhibitions

May-May is trying to pass on God's messages in everything she does. Through the photos she takes with her mobile phone, she tries to capture the world as God reveals it to her. She takes photos of God's light or asks others to photograph her accompanied by that light. There is often a story behind the photos. May-May's art can be categorized as 'contemporary sacred art' or 'spiritual art' and as 'art brut' or 'outsider art'. Contemporary sacred art refers to her connection with God. Art brut refers to her vulnerability for psychosis.

God is with us. He is sending us peace and love. He wants us to achieve world peace and end hunger. To take care of vulnerable people, animals and our planet. To work towards: A World in Which All Children Can Play.

PS Since the photos are made with help of God and many others, they are public art. A gift.

Photo: Cherish Life

May-May went to the sea with her father in September 2023. The sunlight shone dazzlingly across the seawater. A father was playing in the sea with his young child, while holding it tightly. The atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious. May-May asked her father to photograph her with the light, not expecting anything special. When she saw the photo, she noticed the young father embracing his child. She felt as if God was empowering her message to cherish life and to facilitate world peace. To love one another – especially the children - and to care for nature.

May we see soon: A World in Which All Children Can Play.

Photo "God's Light from heaven"

May-May met a homeless man in a park. He asked her for a gift. When she gave him a gift so that he couldn't only have a meal but also a place to sleep, he was very grateful. He smiled and said: God bless you. Minutes later this light appeared out of heaven.
