Beautiful Decay.

Influenced by the Dutch 16th & 17th
century Vanitas still life painters.
I have tried  to translate that genre
into a modern urban setting.
Vanitas is latin, meaning emptiness and
loosely translated corresponds to the
meaninglessness of earthly life and the
transient nature of vanity.
These painters were often obsessed with
with death and decay.
I myself am more concerned with the latter,
but perhaps they go hand in hand.

LIfe is like a piano...






















...what you get out of it depends on how you play it.

Inspiration.

Currently working on the redesign for an office space.
I came across the atelier of Decodel.
What a wonderful space filled with all sorts of goodies.
Perhaps not quite my clients cup of tea, but I am sure 
I will find a use for these later.
