The Dutch
This series draws profound inspiration from 17th-century Dutch still life paintings, reflecting my deep fascination with the vibrant palette of colors and the evocative sense of mystery and mysticism inherent in those artworks. Spanning from the contemplative Vanitas to the opulent and lavish Pronkstilleven, the paintings of that era effortlessly transport us to the present moment. In these canvases, we revel in the sumptuous textures and vivid hues of the depicted objects while gently reminding ourselves of their impermanence. Within this collection, you will find historical transcriptions, such as "Facets" and "Maria," alongside pieces that embody the same artistic essence, thus continuing the thematic exploration of the Memento Mori-Pronkstilleven spectrum.
