About this artwork

"Oh, that's the beauty of the rose, that it blossoms and dies." - Willa Cather

» Still life is the most famous thematic group in the painter's work. These works are distinguished by captivating simplicity in which ordinary everyday objects take on a new quality, rising to the rank of a work of art. The artist always paints from nature, using an extremely modest palette and building color based on the study of light acting on it. Also a fact worth noticing is that the painter does not paint on canvas, but on primed cardboard, which he prepares according to the recommendations for painters from the late XIX century. The preferred medium, as in the case of the old masters, are oil paints, which contain a high percentage of pigmentation. It should be emphasized that by studying and researching issues such as light, color, composition, the artist achieved mastery in this field, which was noticed and evaluated by many experts, such as the French art dealer Jacques - Armand Akoun operating in the famed and loved by great painters of the 19th century Montmarte in Paris. Here, the artist's works were examined and certified by a team of independent experts, and the artist's name was placed on the world list of artists and published in the best-selling J. Akoun ranking. » (TRiCERA / Japan)
