My first manager: Where do you see yourself in five years? Me:

Here’s some close ups of my most recent work. I’ve adjusted the lighting so you can see the brushwork better. #art #artstr #oilpainting #oilpaint

The interpretation of ‘Yield’ first refers to the fruits. Yield may also speak of giving in, of holding on, or of succumbing to the weight. This painting is about that balance, the feeling of barely holding on. It aims to express both the sense of weight and heaviness, and at the same time a certain elegance. Perhaps this is something you recognize in your own life. We put so much pressure on ourselves and somehow present it as a kind of virtue. #art #artstr #symbolism View quoted note →

Working on my next little project. Someone asked me today whether painting is relaxing for me. It is — it only took me five years to get to that point. #art #artist #oilpainting #stilllife #realism #studiovibes

‘Yield’ (2025) - Oil on panel, 24x30cm Just finished this one, enjoy. #oilpainting #stilllifepainting #artstr #grownostr #art

Stil llife with knife and pumpkin (2025) - Oil on panel, 30x40cm Focusing on a single object naturally obscures the others, a concept I’ve explored in my recent work. Inspired by masters like Rembrandt and Velázquez, who soften or simplify elements further from the focal point, I take it a step further, dissolving peripheral objects entirely into the background. This approach adds air to the composition while simultaneously conveying the idea how focus affects context. #fineart #fineartpainting #oilpainting #stilllifepainting #artstr #art
