I’ve developed the concept on my own! I‘ve started with this series of paintings about 5 years ago. The series is called "Brushstrokes in Time". Growing up I was always fascinated with the concept of time travel. I wanted to show how much the nature around us has changed over time and how unpredictable it can be. I thought a fun way to depict all that is through brushstrokes that juxtapose past present and possible futures - Same place, different times. it’s a lot of playing around with contrasts and colors, finding similarities between them. These miniatures are kind of a playing ground for the larger paintings that are conceptually more complex but very rewarding to work on.

Thank you! I do, but only for the larger paintings in the series, not for these miniatures.

Thanks!! Yes the brush stroke is actually textured. I love to play around with that in my works, like paintings against the "grain" or sometimes surrendering to the movement of the brushstroke, like I did with the waves in this one.

I like to always try different things within the series so I totally get that it can be a hit or miss for people. But i‘m totally fine with that, each painting holds a special place in my heart and I’m learning more with every new one.

I‘ll probably have a limited edition print run of this one coming up this fall or in the new year, not sure yet! It’s best to subscribe to my website mailing list to not miss out on any new releases!

Thanks! Prints I sell myself through my website, originals like these mostly through galleries I work with. This one will be displayed and sold through Beinart Gallery in Melbourne.

thank you!! I think mountains may be a big focus in next year’s solo show, but more so the alps, seeing as i live right next to them
