STILL LIFE

Daisies size cm H x cm W oil on canvas $750

beautiful daisies, not one is the same as another When I painted this piece, I was drawn to the simplicity and resilience of daisies. There’s something about their clean white petals and warm centers that feels both delicate and strong. I wanted to capture that balance — the way they can brighten a space yet remain humble. The loose, expressive foliage was my way of adding movement, almost like a breeze stirring through the flowers, bringing a sense of life and change. The dark vase felt important too — a grounding element that contrasts the lightness of the daisies and helps them stand out. For me, this painting was about celebrating the beauty in the everyday and exploring how color and texture can transform a simple subject into something more.

abstract flowers oil on canvas size cm H x cm W $450

This painting features a bold and expressive floral arrangement in a green vase, set against a warm, textured background. The bouquet is composed of various flowers in striking colors: deep purple and bright yellow daisies with dark centers, vivid blue flowers, and soft pink roses with swirling petals. The composition is lively, with dynamic brushstrokes that add movement and energy to the piece.

The background is a mix of warm earth tones, including shades of ochre, burnt orange, and hints of purple, blending in an abstract style. The inclusion of delicate wispy leaves and wheat-like stems gives the painting a slightly rustic or wildflower feel.

The use of bold outlines around the flowers and vase creates a semi-abstract, expressive style, reminiscent of folk or modern impressionist art. The contrast between the cool tones of the flowers and the warm background enhances the vibrancy of the piece, making it feel both cheerful and dramatic.
