Kaleidoscope of a South African Field
Oil on canvas
60cm x 76cm
This idea came one night at midnight as a clear picture in a dream. The next day I painted it with quite some emotions as it spoke as life seemingly dead under the surface of the land yet coming back to the light and though now transparent yet magnifying its bygone colours on all the land.

Feet Feast
Oil on canvas
30cm x 30cm
The contrasting colours of orange and blue in my palette spoke of the heat and the coolness of life, like between the hot sand and the water of the sea. SO were born the feet, dancing, marching or relaxing on the edge between the two colours.

Set of Three Geranium Pots
Oil on canvas
41cm x 78cm
Painting these flowers was returning back to a time in my life when I played in my parent’s nursery, putting plants into pots with the workers. Smelling the fresh and clean soil, touching the velvety leaves and the strange hairy roots, all this in the soil and voila, they can grow!

The Universe and The Spirit
Oil on canvas
40cm x 100cm
For this painting the person was very specific in what she wanted. It had to not look commercial yet representing the symbols she wanted in an etheric way.

Moroccan Spices
Oil on canvas
40cm x 100cm
The challenge was to paint delicate spices displayed on a rough wall. I chose to combine the real colours with a contrasting one, the cerulean blue, to lift the vibrancy of the spices and containers.

Un Lever de Soleil
Oil on canvas
50cm x 125cm
This commission was for a scene to be set on top of a double bed on a sharp turquoise wall. It had to be fantasy and an inspiration to fly to dream-land.

A Trio of White Geraniums on French Ultramarine Velvet Blue
Oil on canvas
25cm x 50cm
A classy lover of the blue colour wanted some white flowers to match her living area. Hanging there now you see a new vibrancy on her walls even though the blue seems icy. The sharpness of this blue opens up a window of her imagination about “spring over the deep sea”.

Three Posies in Vases
Chalk and oil on canvas
45cm x 61cm
Emotionally driven to touch the paint or the reality of the painting, a client asked for flowers that seemed to be “jumping out of the canvas”. So I created these vases, first with a green chalk, and then painted in oil over it to gain this transparency and the glass thickness of the vases. With the use of a knife and special adjuvant in the paint, the flowers took shape with their petals standing out for her to touch and dream of her future flower garden.
