Acrylic still life painting on gessoboard framed.

Emerging out of the midnight-black void, the subjects allude to the transitory nature of existence; to life and death. It is time suspended. It highlights the turbulent relationship man has with nature. It’s a warning about mortality and our righteousness.

Still life asks us to stop and consider the world anew and take simple pleasure in the familiar things in life and discover depths in it. It urges us to look closely and observe. Something that we are not used to doing anymore. Still life contrasts with our lives today which are dynamic, moving and constantly shifting.

Banksias in a silver ornate metal vessel casting a shadow on a wooden tableBlue petunias in pot with purple lamp and blue satinStill life contrasts with our lives today which are dynamic, moving and constantly shifting, so there is definitely a strange irony in my work. I’m trying to suspend time, but it is still a reminder of our mortality, transience, and that things will fade and pass. Time becomes precious.
