Floral Paintings

Floral still life has long offered painters a way to explore color, light, and the quiet beauty of carefully arranged forms. These paintings begin with elaborate studio arrangements that I paint directly from life.

Through close observation, each painting develops in layers of oil paint, where gesture, color, and shifting light gradually transform the subject. The structure of the bouquet becomes a framework for exploring relationships of color and movement, allowing the forms to emerge through the language of paint.

Rooted in the long tradition of still life painting, these works celebrate the enduring appeal of flowers as a subject—familiar, abundant, and endlessly varied—while embracing the expressive possibilities of contemporary oil painting.
