“Still life allows me the greatest freedom to express my emotions. The placement, manipulation and gesture of the objects, as well as how they interact with one another, is a big driving force for me.”
“I have always loved looking at still life paintings. My favourite ones give me the feeling that I am looking at something very intimate and revealing, like the page of a diary.”
