Oil Paintings
My oil paintings are characterized by their rich textures and profound depth, bringing landscapes and subjects to life with a sense of dimensionality that invites the viewer in. Through layers of carefully blended colors and the use of both light and shadow, I aim to create atmospheric effects that evoke emotion and draw the viewer into the scene. The slow-drying nature of oils allows for precise control and subtle transitions, enabling me to build a deep sense of realism or, at times, embrace abstract elements to express a deeper, more conceptual interpretation of the subject matter.
Each piece explores the unique interplay between form, color, and texture, with some works capturing the stillness of nature and others expressing movement and energy. From serene landscapes to bold, dynamic abstracts, my oil paintings reflect an ongoing exploration of how paint can convey both beauty and emotion. By using oils, I am able to bring intricate details to the forefront while still leaving room for the painting to breathe, creating works that feel both grounded and alive.

Acrylic Paintings
My acrylic paintings are bold and dynamic, characterized by vibrant colors and expressive textures that capture the energy and movement of the world around us. Acrylics allow me to work quickly and intuitively, often layering thick applications of paint to build both surface texture and visual depth. This medium's versatility gives me the freedom to create pieces that range from smooth, refined finishes to rough, textured strokes, bringing a fresh, contemporary aesthetic to each work. The rapid drying time of acrylics enables me to explore and experiment with multiple layers, enhancing the depth and complexity of each composition.
Through my acrylic works, I explore the balance between abstraction and realism, creating pieces that are both visually stimulating and emotionally evocative. The colors I use are meant to captivate, drawing the viewer in and encouraging a deeper connection to the subject matter. Whether capturing the delicate beauty of nature or the bold power of a moment in time, my acrylic paintings reflect an ongoing journey of discovery, experimentation, and expression, with each piece conveying a unique narrative and energy.

Watercolour Paintings
My watercolor paintings are a celebration of fluidity and subtlety, capturing the natural world through soft washes of color and delicate brushwork. The translucent nature of watercolor allows me to create ethereal, light-filled compositions that evoke a sense of calm and tranquility. I use this medium to explore the nuances of light and shadow, allowing the natural flow of the paint to guide the composition. Each piece reflects the delicate balance between control and spontaneity, with the unpredictability of the medium adding an organic, almost magical quality to the work.
Through watercolor, I seek to convey a sense of quiet beauty and timelessness, whether depicting a serene landscape or the intricate details of nature. The softness and transparency of the paint lend themselves perfectly to creating atmospheric effects, inviting viewers to connect with the artwork on a deeper level. My watercolor paintings offer a glimpse into the fleeting moments of nature, with every brushstroke capturing the delicate harmony of color and light.

What is on my Easel?
These are some of the paintings I am working on these days. I often paint multiple painting at one time, because each painting takes it’s own time and energy type. Enjoy a little sneak peek!
They are unfinished, so they will still change a lot, subscribe and get my studio blog to see what they will look like before they are listed for sale.
