Nine Flavors of Summer
Nine brightly colored ice pops are arranged in a crisp three-by-three grid, each distinguished by fruit slices, sprinkles, stripes, or chocolate tones. Oil paint on canvas gives the simple silhouettes a softly brushed surface while allowing the weave to show subtly through. The generous white ground keeps the playful palette fresh and airy, making the work a cheerful fit for a kitchen or dining area.

For me, painting is a way of observing. I am drawn to figures, objects, and everyday moments – things that are always around us, but that we do not always stop to notice. Color is my starting point. It guides me toward the image, the composition, and the space in which it exists. Sometimes this is an almost empty space, with a single figure or object within it. It is precisely within this simplicity that I find room for a story. I like to detach a figure or an object from its familiar surroundings and focus on it on its own. When the context disappears, it takes on a new presence – sometimes quiet, sometimes playful, and sometimes evoking a sense of distance or loneliness. My work moves between people, still life, food, animals, and places. Despite their differences, they are all connected by the same perspective: an attempt to pause for a moment, look at something familiar, and discover something different within it. I work in various techniques, including oil paints, watercolors, pencils, and colored pencils. For me, painting is a place where the everyday can become a story.
