The “Contours of Stillness” series conveys a sense of calm and tranquility through composition and the use of minimalistic design. Canvases are filled with a monochromatic palette, perhaps a soft shade of blue or gray, evoking a serene atmosphere. Paintings feature abstract forms that seem to float effortlessly, suggesting a weightless quality. The contours are fluid and gently curving, creating a harmonious flow within the composition.

The overall composition appears balanced and spacious, with negative space playing an important role in enhancing the feeling of stillness. Despite the minimalist approach, there are subtle hints of expressionism in the paintings. These elements manifest as spontaneous brushstrokes or slightly more pronounced elements resulting in emotions subtly breaking through the calm surface.

This work can easily be matted and framed behind glass.
