This kind of still life is a very popular subject in a board room a library, a private office, a mans den or close to the liquor cabinet. This does not mean that no other spaces have been found in private homes. There are a good number of 17th century artist that had painted related compositions and are often spotted in the national galleries the world over. Possibly the most masculine type of decent art a man can relate to and at my past exhibitions one of the most popular themes.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
Kivits’ classic oeuvre includes not only original Still-life’s, but also Fruit and Floral compositions, Landscapes, Seascapes and Figurative works in glazes of oil-paint. Predominantly tapping into his antique collection for inspiration, his works take considerably longer to produce; hence a small number of masterpieces are created annually.
True traditional realism, all in the line from the Sixteenth century European Masters onward, he is staying true to these time-proven styles, refusing digital means to aid his work, e.g. projection, pre-printed canvas, grid tracings, or anything but the skill of his own eyes to hand.
Dutch-born Kivits' has firmly established himself in Australia as a legitimate Brand over the years, and his creations have found their ways to art lovers in many developed countries.
