“Big Handle” is a small yet striking acrylic painting that explores the interplay of light and shadow. Measuring 3×3 inches, this piece is framed in a unique handmade setting with steeply beveled, 1.5-inch-deep sides, painted rich black. The design gives the impression of a window opening into the luminous heart of the painting, allowing the artwork to appear as if it’s floating within—a subtle contrast between light and darkness.
The composition centers on the elegant curves of a teacup, viewed from above, drawing attention to its gracefully arching handle. The cup’s interior glows with soft light, while its exterior recedes into deep shadow. Delicate gold accents and crisp highlights emphasize the handle’s refined form, transforming it into the focal point of the scene.
Resting on a golden brocaded cloth, the cup reflects hints of its surroundings, creating a quiet dialogue between object and environment. Light and texture interact subtly, adding warmth and depth to the composition.
With its intimate scale and dramatic presentation, Big Handle offers a moment of quiet contemplation. Whether displayed on its own or as part of a gallery wall, its refined presence invites the viewer to pause and appreciate the beauty of everyday objects.

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.
