EGG IN A GLASS



Acrylics on wood 18 x 24cm
150 euros
SOLD/VERKAUFT

Another inspiration from my friend Jerry Alcantara. This is an unusual still life. No flowers in a vase or artistically arranged fruit, this is just one egg and one simple glass on a black background. Much like life should be, simple, straight forward, easy to understand and at the same time rich and beautiful. Enjoy!

THE SECRET DOOR

Acrylics on wood 24 x 18cm
150 Euros
SOLD/VERKAUFT

A door to a secret, a challenge, an answer or a dream? Open that door and step inside,
experience the darkness as one step just before you walk into the light. To have the
courage to walk into fear is the answer to enjoying life. How many times have you not
done something because you were afraid and regreted it later? So if you see that secret
door do not hesitate to open it wide and walk inside.
Another Jerry Alcantara inspiration.
