Title: Boeddha’s Kruis Year: 2005 Medium: Print based on a watercolor, originally derived from a digital composition Technique: Hybrid process — digital origin reinterpreted in watercolor, then translated into a fine art print Description: Boeddha’s Kruis is a layered meditation on spiritual fusion and artistic transformation. The serene figure, inspired by Buddhist iconography, is rendered in soft green and yellow robes, eyes closed in peaceful introspection. Behind the figure, a fragmented background reveals a cross-like symbol with a circular center—suggesting a meeting point between Eastern stillness and Western spiritual geometry. This work exemplifies Martine Jacobs’ hybrid method: a digital sketch evolves into a fluid watercolor, where pigment and water breathe life into symbolic form. The final print preserves the tactile softness of the original while amplifying its contemplative power. Boeddha’s Kruis invites reflection on unity, transcendence, and the quiet dialogue between traditions. Themes: Cross-cultural spirituality Transformation across media: digital → watercolor → print Symbolic fusion of Buddhist and Christian motifs Serenity within abstract fragmentation
