Sometimes the simplest change makes the biggest difference. By using this cloth, the focus stays entirely on the painting. No distractions, just the work itself. I’m considering moving to wall shots soon, once I find the perfect spot to let the art truly breathe. #oilpainting

About The Artist I am a realist still life painter, dedicated to reviving and redefining traditional techniques with a modern sensibility. My work is deeply influenced by the meticulous craftsmanship of Dutch masters like Claesz and Heda yet I seek to infuse these timeless compositions with a contemporary edge—one that feels fresh, striking, and engaging rather than nostalgic or outdated. My process is rooted in precision and discipline. I continuously refine my skills through rigorous exercises, honing my ability to capture light, texture, and form with absolute clarity. Still life, often overlooked in contemporary art, holds an incredible power—to slow time, draw attention to detail, and turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. Beyond the canvas, I share my journey through painting insights, progress images, and technical breakdowns, offering a window into the process behind each piece. Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a fellow painter, or simply someone who appreciates fine craftsmanship, I invite you to explore my work and see still life in a new light. #artist

I’ve started sharing more framed views as it helps show how these paintings come to life. Proper framing is an art of its own, and luckily, I’ve got about 70 frames at hand to experiment with. #oilpaintingart #classicalrealism #stilllifeoilpainting #art #artstr #oilpainting

Still Life with Seashells II (2025) – Oil on panel, 24x18cm This piece became an exercise in subtle color shifts—something I’ve long wanted to push further in my work. I kept the brushwork looser than usual, letting a bit more of the artist’s hand remain visible. Swipe to see the details up close. Available — DM if interested. #shellpainting #oilpaintingart #stilllifeoilpainting #classicalrealism #fineartpainting #realismartwork

Having never had any formal art education, there’s a lot of spontaneous learning along the way. I recently discovered an amazing artist @carolinenelson.Art. I noticed these visible brushstrokes in the shadow of her composition, while she kept the lighter parts solid and opaque (swipe). It’s a principle called ‘transparent shadow, opaque lights’ and helps to create greater depth and three-dimensionality. It juxtaposes luminous, atmospheric shadows to vibrant, textured highlights. The current subject seemed like a good place to start applying this technique (swipe again for a sneak peak). #Oilpainting #stilllifepainting #realismart #traditionalart #oilpainter #paintingtechniques #fineartpainting #artprocess #classicalpainting #realistart #oilpaintingtechniques #artstudy #arteducation #learningart #artinspiration #arstr #grownostr #oilpainting #finearts #art #contemporaryart #stilllife #horn #realism #painting #craftsmanship #classicalart #minimalism #texture #serenity #quietbeauty #studio #blog

The tricky truth: shells like this are often easier to paint than a plain white cup. Complex shapes give clear shadows and edges, while subtle surfaces demand far more precision. This is the 5th piece in my practice series—proof that “complicated” isn’t always hardest. #oilpainting #oilpaintings #stilllifeart #gallery #fineart #art #traditionalart #realism #painting #stilllife #seashell #shellpainting #practicepainting #realistpainting #classicalpainting #realismart #fineartpractice #artistsoninstagram #artprocess
