I don’t have it all figured out. But I know one thing: creating makes me feel alive. And life is too short to ignore what makes your soul feel alive.

This two painting’s where created for an assignment at the art academy, inspired by the poem Boem Paukeslag by Paul van Ostaijen.
Two things stayed with me: chaos and instability.
I recognized that chaos in my own mind, where thoughts, emotions, and ideas constantly overlap.
As a child, drawing was my way of processing emotions. That same feeling found its way into this painting.
The falling tears, clocks inside the eyes, and arrows pointing in different directions all tell a part of my story.
Time often feels like my greatest enemy. Every ticking second is a moment I can never get back.
So many ideas, so many directions, but never enough time to explore them all.
A race against time, inside a mind that never stands still.

Growing older is such a strange thing.

I’m Robin Vandersteen, the person behind Woeste Wortel.

I’ve always wanted to explore everything. Photography, filmmaking, drawing, painting… Anything that allows me to express what it feels like to be alive.

But as we grow older, people move in different directions. Careers, families, responsibilities.

And somehow, I’m still here. Wanting to discover, to play, to CREATE.

And honestly? Sometimes it feels fu***ng lonely.

I’m trying to be an adult, to build a life and carry my responsibilities. But there’s this constant struggle between the adult I’m expected to be and the little kid inside me who just wants to get his hands covered in paint.

And I refuse to lose him.

That’s what Woeste Wortel is about. That wild, uncontrollable life energy. The beauty, the chaos, the loneliness, the fear. All those crazy colours and contrasts.

I miss creating with people. Not for money or success, but simply because it feels so incredibly human.

I wish we’d spend less time watching other people live through our screens and more time discovering what makes US feel alive.

Because I believe there’s something creative inside every single one of us.

And right now? I’m still figuring things out. I’m scared sometimes. I question my path.

But I’ll never stop creating. Never ever.

Maybe growing up isn’t about leaving your inner child behind, but learning to carry him through a world that keeps telling you to grow up.

And hopefully, somewhere along the way, I’ll find more people who still want to make a beautiful mess together.

Until then, I’ll keep getting my hands covered in paint. 🫶

Robin, Woeste Wortel🌼

HEART ON FIRE.

This piece started with peaceful cartoon drawings but grew into something much more personal. Using my hands and leftover paint, I began creating a heart-shaped apple, a symbol of pure self-love that I had seen during my ayahuasca experience.

“Burn my bitterness and my pain.”

Because I don’t want to become bitter. I don’t want the pain and loss I’ve experienced to harden my heart. I just want to be pure love, from my very core, towards myself and others.

But sometimes, it’s so difficult to stay in that state of being.

This piece is my reminder that I can always return to that love. My source of hope and comfort.

That everything will eventually be okay, as long as I keep loving myself. ❤️
