Ikebana series #5 – Diptych
This painting went with the previous as a diptych.
This time I tried to play with sensory perceptions by using contrasting colors, shadows and reflections. The chair is both dark and bright, the vertical lines give it a sense of depth while at the same time bringing forward its central part where one eye is located. It’s a little bit like how we see things in dreams. It’s a parallel reality that we see but that is not really “there”. The other eye is hidden and what we can see instead is the reflection of it, a simplified version of it anyway.

The vines are only cultivated for their…

Ikebana series #4

I really like the rustic feel of this painting because the materials used in the arrangement are not ordered, but instead just thrown together in an unsystematic way that echoes my own feeling when arranging flowers.
