Ode to the Golden Age

This current body of work that I’m creating is an ode to the long tradition of dutch still life painting, and inspired by my last visit to Amsterdam. There is something so glorious about the simplicity of a still-life.

It reflects my love of beauty and romance. It is time suspended, the transitory nature of existence: life, death and the after-life. It is my desire to make these images more permanent, to freeze time. For that reason the animals depicted in this series are all endanger species, illustrating the fragility of time.
