The Gilded GardenThe Gilded Garden, oil on canvas, 80 x 80 cm I painted this piece to capture that late summer moment when everything feels rich, glowing and almost heavy with light.

Expressive brushwork and scattered drips bring movement and spontaneity, while the florals remain loosely anchored in realism. I love the contrast
