Chandeliers

This collection is a love child derived from the Horses series - where a chandelier was featured in the bathroom above a fancy bathing horse. The Chandeliers, representative of opulence, luxury and a certain type of elegance, are an experience in materiality with the oil paints.

Across these paintings, the chandelier becomes more than an ornament: it gives form to an abundance of colour, light and life. In Precious Blue, classical elegance meets the energy of a fiery red ground, with lavish textures expressing an abundance state of mind. Let there be Light brings this material generosity into the act of painting itself: squeezed directly from the tubes, the oil paint builds the chandelier and its burning candles into an intricate, almost sculptural presence. In The Joy of Life, radiant light, spirited gestures and imposing arches turn elegance into exuberance. Together, the works move between baroque richness and expressive freedom, inviting the eye to linger on paint as both an image and a physical substance.
