Pulsing Points of Light
Hi. I am authenktic and I create pulsing points of light.
I create and spread pulsing points of light, little repetitive moments of happiness for someone else or for myself. Handing out a pastry on the street, taking a picture of the sun, passing on a received collection. Moments that make life worth living for me.
Each point of light is small, modest and a bit quirky. What I want to show is precisely that recurring everydayness. The great happiness that is in all those beautiful little moments. That is the pulse.
I make my pulsing points of light or little moments of happiness in different series, each with its own frequency: Thank You, Love, Grow, Shine, Point of Light, Pastry Man, Cabinet of Curiosities and Henk Verhulst. Each series is about a value that is important to me, which I convert into repetitive actions in a fixed rhythm and transform into pulsing points of light.
I pulse because I realize my heart only beats for a limited time, and therefore I only have a limited time to do something beautiful with my heart, head and hands and – as a pulsist – be meaningful. Paradoxically, it is precisely the fixed rhythm of pulsing that gives me the space to create and spread many beautiful moments of happiness and to create my pulse art.
My motto: make meaningful moments.
My mission: more happiness and a more beautiful world.
With my points of light, I want to help, inspire and make people pulse, so that they too will help, inspire and make people pulse, so that they too …
