My still
lives from the Tea Time Series are telling stories about people. Although
people stay out of the picture, their presence is felt. It was them who set up
a table, baked a cake, put flowers in a vase and poured tea into a cup. They
can be back any minute. It’s about someone’s tea party, a birthday celebration
or a get-together with a close friend. The paintings are bubbling and bursting with colours. I use bold
outlines and bright colours along with a strong composition to set a mood and
to create an inviting warm feeling of a tea party. “You are here for a treat.
Enjoy good company, aromatic tea and freshly baked/painted cakes”. Bent
crawling spoons, dancing cups and tea pots add dynamics to otherwise would be
static still life paintings.
