Still life

The source of inspiration for my photos has always been fine art. Therefore, if you think my photos remind you of something you have already seen somewhere, you are right - they can evoke associations with my favourite artists and art styles, such as symbolism, Dutch still-life paintings, and surrealism. I like the works of Vermeer, Hammershoy, Whistler, Magritte, Adrian Kurt, and Andrew White. I like photos where there is very little action. It seems that nothing happens to them. But the world of objects is filled with information, and looking at them, you can say even more about what happened, is happening or will happen in this space.
