Some details from my latest piece, ‘promise’. A monochrome palette, a warm surrounding of and cool toned objects. #art #artstr #oilpainting #artdetails #grownostr

Brushwork on my latest painting. I’ve got some exciting things going on, hence I have had less time to paint. In the meantime I’ll be sharing some day to day stuff. #art #artstr #artist #grownostr #painting #oilpainting

Here’s some close ups of my most recent work. I’ve adjusted the lighting so you can see the brushwork better. #art #artstr #oilpainting #oilpaint

The interpretation of ‘Yield’ first refers to the fruits. Yield may also speak of giving in, of holding on, or of succumbing to the weight. This painting is about that balance, the feeling of barely holding on. It aims to express both the sense of weight and heaviness, and at the same time a certain elegance. Perhaps this is something you recognize in your own life. We put so much pressure on ourselves and somehow present it as a kind of virtue. #art #artstr #symbolism View quoted note →

Working on my next little project. Someone asked me today whether painting is relaxing for me. It is — it only took me five years to get to that point. #art #artist #oilpainting #stilllife #realism #studiovibes image

Stil llife with knife and pumpkin (2025) - Oil on panel, 30x40cm Focusing on a single object naturally obscures the others, a concept I’ve explored in my recent work. Inspired by masters like Rembrandt and Velázquez, who soften or simplify elements further from the focal point, I take it a step further, dissolving peripheral objects entirely into the background. This approach adds air to the composition while simultaneously conveying the idea how focus affects context. #fineart #fineartpainting #oilpainting #stilllifepainting #artstr #art image

Still life with lemon and cocktail (2025) - Oil on panel, 17x24cm I aim to balance rough underpainting with refined detail. Too much polish can feel chaotic. Here, my focus is on the lemon’s light-catching areas: the center slice, folded peel, and the curled peel hanging from the table. #stilllifepainting #oilpainting #realistart #art #artstr

By far the most useful thing I recently learned about @Npub.pro is that you can add notes directly in the navigation. Not just hashtags. #npubpro #grownostr image

I’m thinking of doing some #giveaways to increase my reach. With the risk of becoming obnoxiously self promoting. Need to take some chances sometimes. #grownostr #artstr image

My go-to brush right now. An old Nr. 4 brush that I cut with a scissor at some point.. #brush #brushwork #oilpainting image
