“Where the Sea Says Goodnight” 100×100 cm
€ 850,00Where the Sea Says Goodnight is an original painting on canvas, measuring 100 × 100 cm.
The palette flows through layered shades of blue, turquoise, white, black, and touches of gold. I began by building a rich texture within the landscape, allowing the surface to carry depth, movement, and light.
This piece was created with a dual intention. Visually, it is designed as a contemporary artwork that integrates effortlessly into modern interiors. On a deeper level, it holds the quiet, powerful energy of the sea at dusk—that fleeting moment when the last light lingers with surprising intensity, while the darkness of night gently begins to take over.
It reflects the stillness at the end of the day: a soft transition into calm, where everything slows down and the atmosphere becomes peaceful, grounded, and full of presence.
“Shaped by Time, Held by Light” 100×100 cm
€ 1.450,00Exclusively on view and available for purchase at Galerie Groede.
As with all abstract art, this work can be interpreted in many different ways. The following reflects my personal, intuitive inspiration behind its creation.
The painting embodies a subtle yet powerful journey of transformation: releasing deeply rooted patterns associated with pain and allowing them to soften, shift and evolve into something lighter.
Layers of earthy brown and beige create a sense of grounding and stability, offering a feeling of warmth and safety as emotions come to the surface. Across the composition, a soft, mist-like veil of white introduces a sense of light, symbolising clarity, release and the possibility of moving forward.
Ultimately, the work is an invitation to embrace change with grace and rediscover a sense of inner balance.

“Waves at Twilight” is an original abstract painting that continues my exploration of texture, sea-inspired colour palettes, and refined metallic accents.
The composition balances two contrasting surfaces: one richly textured and sculptural, the other smoother and more fluid. This interplay creates depth and movement, echoing the changing surface of the sea.
Soft tones reminiscent of turquoise waters bring a sense of calm and spaciousness, while subtle metallic touches catch the light and add sophistication.
The painting is ready to hang.
