This painting looks like as if it has been photographed close-up style with a ‘wide angle macro’ lens. But it’s not. This is what the painting actually looks like when photographed from a straight-on position. The irregular pentagon shape is composed out of 2 golden rectangles of different dimensions separated by a square and connected by the longer diagonal(lower right to upper left). This is a little mind game I like to play and to surprise myself with.
This was fun to photograph. It has so many cool angles because of the ‘shape’ and ‘bend’ given to the plywood. On top of that the distorted lines with 2 external “flight points” which correspond to the ‘essence’ or flow of the shape. This piece is based on the distillation of “Associations” connected to the ‘Mediterranean’, my way of seeing, of course. Timeless!
Beauty = the Best Humanity has to offer(in all categories). Thank you.
Overpopulation. Way too much.
This photo shows the entire painting: The “outside” edges are perfectly ‘squared’ but the ‘paper part’ is “off” on purpose.
Something fun and new (preview)

Sometimes ‘things’ just happen when you “give in” and enjoy the moment.
This one is difficult to explain. It just happened. It freaks me out. Just look at it for a while and you’ll know why.
-We always see ‘things’ but are not aware of what exactly we are witnessing until we see “it” again in retrospect (i.e.: later in a photo, for example). This happened here.
Ever since I’ve stopped smoking I’ve been making more ‘practical’ or ‘useful’ things than ever before within a short time-span (chairs, lamps and now out of all things a “bench”)
-I don’t know if this is good (it certainly is boring) but I’ll just play this one out, work with ‘this moment in time’ and hope it will pass soon!
I photographed ‘it’ with a pair of runners to show the size of the bench (also to highlight the 3 stripes!)
