Still life paintings and compositions
Still lifes have a charm of their own. A sense of stillness and wonder. Depicting subjects in colors that differ slightly from reality, or abstracting their forms, a call for close observation. I create paintings based on whatever fascinates me during a particular period, leading me to explore a wide range of themes. Sometimes, I create something simply because I find it 'beautiful' or 'appealing’, searching for with interesting compositions. In this section, you will find a bit of everything.
