Still life is brimming with narratives that can give a story, an account or a tale. Its symbols can be expressed, stand for, and suggest something that is not expected. My work is filled with not only the historical greatness that still life has always encompassed, but also the need to describe forms objectively and, at the same time, to go beyond the narrative.
I apply different formal elements of painting, color, space, light and composition as the various subjects of my work. My colors are laid down straight forwardly, with slight modeling. These paintings display beauty in simplicity with objects draped in rich light.
