The Dutch Baroque painter, Pieter Claesz, inspired me with his portrayal of textures and use of color and light. I appreciate how he incorporated symbolism in his still lifes, such as mortality represented by a skull. In my painting, I wanted to use soft colors, while also focusing on the textures and light. I chose items for my still life which represent my origins. Even though I live in America, I want to share the beauty and my love for “a home far away”.
