Pink Rock

We spent a lot of time with the various artists in and around the beautiful home of Alexander and Tzima. The vernissage of the exhibition White Water also took place here. I combined this setting and these memories in this painting. The pink rock is the landmark of the house, prominently visible as you arrive. It always made me smile because it contrasts so much with the surroundings, yet it fits perfectly. The chair, a recurring element in my paintings, always makes me pause for a moment, or literally sit still, to appreciate and reflect on where I am. Look closely, because this painting is full of small hidden details.

The chair is a sign of taking a break in life. Looking around and overlook where you are and what you have. Standing still. Appreciating what you have.
