Inspiration
A painting inspired by a painting by Vermeer of a lady wearing a blue dress while reading a letter. In my version the lady is facing in the opposite direction giving her back towards the window and is holding a digital device in her hand. Symbolically the lady is giving her back to the natural light coming from the window while artificial light illuminates her face, same as humanity is ignoring what is natural and living a materialistic life.

His works of art brings together classical realism from Europe and US as well as Australian impressionism.
With his work Chris finds a connection between his love for science, environment and arts. With his work he wants to show the beauty of nature and to re-establish the connection of humanity with nature.
