Among the most beautiful paintings that exist are Still Lifes, which depict everyday scenes that are somehow magical because of content, color, and composition. The Dutch Masters made particularly incredible scenes utilizing the art form.

Just beyond our senses lies an invisible but wondrous world of the fluid forms that are created in our everyday life and objects that project the air flow, turbulence, and density of all the objects we normally see and think of as solid.

Science and physics in particular have shown us that matter as we know it is far from solid, and that our perception of it is based on the limitations of our senses and our perception of size and space.

Everything we know and see in our lives that is solid to our touch is full of “Space”. That space allows air, fluids, and different wavelengths of light to actually flow through these items and ourselves.

Because of this, we can realize how we are part of everything, as the same air, fluids, and light are flowing through everything we perceive as solid. And knowing and realizing the fact that the objects we see, and we ourselves, are not solid, we may consider everything as something fluid, particles that flow but remain together by their own gravity and attractions. Looking like a school of fish or a flock of birds that remain as a group, no matter how chaotic their movement as a whole may be.

My Still Life paintings peer beyond the veil of our perceptions and display the fluidity of matter, based on density, temperature, and the flow of air or fluid around them. These majestic forms take place just outside our viewing capabilities.

While earlier works I have done depicted this as fractal, I have come to understand that, while mathematical, the forms are much more fluid, turbulent, and dream-like.

In the paintings, I have used eggs to depict unlimited potential, glass, as it too is both liquid and solid, and landscapes, which form the basis of our day, but I offer the concealed magic of the world beyond our vision.
