The African deserts are a harsh and arid land, but they have their own beauty. The paintings of the desert by artists such as Matisse, Cezanne, and Van Gogh are proof that there is beauty in the barrenness of the desert.
“The Sands” collection is a meditation on the passage of time, on the beauty that precedes and follows destruction. The paintings depict an arid landscape recalling the beauty of the jungle that preceded it.
The pieces also depict the silence that prevails in these places. There is a sense of stillness and peace that these landscapes evoke.
The sunrise is a common motif in this series, which depicts how beautiful and serene the world can be despite its harshness.
The desert is a place of silence. The only sound is the wind, which whispers through the sand, and the occasional call of a bird.
Hypnotizing and captivating. They roll in and out, in an infinite chaos that is never disrupted. The sun's rays dance and dart across their surface, creating a vivid tapestry of varying hues. The sands whisper and sing to me.
A Different Kind of Beauty Wind swirls through the sand, a constant reminder of the harshness of this place. Yet it is a beauty, a different kind of beauty. A beauty so unique, so serene
