"Espresso and Green Velvet"
An Original Still Life Painting
Like most of my paintings, “Espresso and Green Velvet” grew out of a moment of deep, quiet connection.

Something about what lay before me captured my attention so completely that time came to a standstill, the outside world fell away, and I was left fully absorbed in the beauty I saw.

That moment – which is almost like a daydream – becomes the inspiration; the source from which the painting flows.

It is also the experience I hope to give the viewer – time stopping, the world and its cares falling aside, and a moment of true connection with something beautiful.

About These Paintings
These paintings grow out of two sources: On the one hand, a deep love for the great still life tradition of the Dutch Golden Age, and on the other, a life-long interest in meditation.
For both viewer and artist, still life is the perfect opportunity to have that experience which all meditation seems to aim at: complete and total absorption in the present moment. Not the past. Not the future. Just what is in front of you. Right here. Right now.
That moment of quiet, intense connection – that sense of one-ness – is all the inspiration I need… and these paintings emerge from that source.
As such, this isn’t really a personal art. It’s not about me or my views or my ideas.
My role is to step aside, and let these silent moments speak through me.
