Mindfulness in the Artistic Process

As an artist, painting for me is more than a technique or a visual representation. It is a mindful practice, a journey into stillness that mirrors the themes of the still life subjects I depict. When I sit before a canvas, whether it’s a bouquet of flowers, a piece of fruit, or a simple object bathed in light, I immerse myself in the quiet process of observing and translating the world in front of me.

In the tradition of Dutch Golden Age artists, still life paintings have always been about more than just objects. They speak to the beauty of impermanence, the delicate interplay of light and shadow, and the way time seems to stop when we truly observe the world around us.

For me, these traditions blend seamlessly with my personal mindfulness practice. Every brushstroke becomes a moment of focus, a way to center my thoughts and truly connect with the materials and the subjects of my work.

I believe that in a world filled with constant distractions, still life paintings have the power to help us pause, breathe, and reflect. They offer a moment of tranquility — a chance to reconnect with the beauty of the present moment.

Through my art, I hope to inspire viewers to find that same sense of peace and mindfulness, to slow down and truly see the beauty in the simplest of things.
