Still Life Studies
A collection of still life studies, focusing on the play of light and shadow on dimensions through the versatility of the mediums.
Contradictions
30 cm x 42 cm | Gouache on Paper
This gouache still life arranges objects that share a surface but not a purpose: a flower in a jar, fruit on a plate, folded fabrics, a teapot. Their quiet coexistence feels familiar at first glance, yet becomes subtly unsettling upon closer study. The work explores how harmony can be constructed from elements that do not naturally belong together, mirroring the way contrasting personalities, beliefs, or intentions often inhabit the same social or emotional space. Through layered brushwork and deliberate placement, the painting transforms ordinary items into a visual metaphor for coexisting differences.
Contradictions II
30 cm x 42 cm | Pencil-COlours on Paper
In this second piece, drawn in coloured pencil, a bouquet of tulips on a steel pot beside lemons on a wooden surface — a pairing that blends elegance with everyday simplicity. The contrast in texture, symbolism, and tone creates a tension that is gentle rather than dramatic. Here, contradiction becomes a quieter study of presence: how things that seem mismatched can still form a cohesive visual dialogue. The precision of pencil work allows each object to hold its own identity, emphasizing the idea that difference does not need resolution to be meaningful.
