Dance with Pillows

"Choose balance and you will create calm." The painting is done in a realistic style with an impressionistic influence, characterized by the visible brush strokes in the background and the vibrant, somewhat non-naturalistic color palette. The focus on a ballet dancer and the use of vivid colors with expressive lighting suggest an influence from the works of Impressionist artists like Edgar Degas, who was known for his paintings of dancers. The use of exaggerated colors and the stylized depiction of the dancer's tutu also bring a modern twist to the classical subject matter, blending tradition...

Giant in Jazz

"Giant in Jazz" aims to highlight the human element behind the music. The figure’s exaggerated size amplifies the idea that jazz musicians, through their mastery of the craft, become giants in their own right—masters of sound and rhythm who can command the attention of both their instruments and their audience. "I wanted to shift focus onto the artist himself, showcasing the idea that it is the musician, who breathes life into the music."...

Tea for Two

The painterly strokes that give a sense of motion and vibrancy, and the slightly abstracted form of the chair blending with the flowers, indicate a less formal approach to the subject, emphasizing an emotional or imaginative respons...

"Rainaway"

Digital. Pillow philosophy. Epson Hot Press Bright print "Rainaway" suggests that there can be sad moments even in the happiest places. Like rain, which brings new life, tough times can lead to comfort and healing. The pillows in the picture remind us that rest and relief often follow after we let out our sadness, just like how things feel better after a good cry. @Floating Pillows philosophy...

Passage

Acrylic on 18x24 inches canvas. "Passage" evokes the concept of transition—whether it’s the passage of time, the transition between different states of consciousness, or the metaphorical journey such as the passage from life to death, from wakefulness to sleep, from one phase of life to another or from light to shadow. @Floating pillows philosophy...
