Bordeaux
The Bordeaux collection is centred around contrast. Between warmth and structure, refinement and rawness. The works within this series are inspired by the layered richness of wine, with deep burgundy and red tones running throughout the collection.
Within this series, I explore how colour, material and texture can create both calmness and tension at the same time. Metallic pigments such as dark bronze, champagne gold and rose gold often form the foundation of the paintings, creating subtle reflections that shift with the light. On top of these layers, nuances, movement and unexpected details begin to emerge.
The collection was created from a desire to offer a counterbalance to overly polished perfection. Not everything needs to feel sleek, controlled or symmetrical to feel balanced. It is often the slight edge of imperfection that gives a work character and allows it to truly come alive within a space.
Although the series has a strong visual presence, the works also carry softness and warmth. They invite you to move closer, explore the layers and continue discovering new details depending on the light, the moment and the environment.
Bordeaux brings together depth, warmth and layering in a collection that feels both powerful and refined.
Fronsac
100 x 150 cm | acrylic on linen
Bordeaux
Fronsac is an abstract painting from the Bordeaux series, inspired by the layered character of the wine region it is named after. The work carries a fresh tension: between structure and movement, between control and letting go.
The foundation consists of layers of different metallic pigments. On top of these, rich burgundy and deep red tones are built up, combined with accents of oxidized green and golden green. These shades give the painting a vibrant, almost youthful energy – like a young wine still developing over time. The contrast between warm richness and rougher, unexpected nuances creates a dynamic composition.
Fronsac was created from the idea of building a space where calmness and allure come together, without everything needing to feel perfect. It is precisely the edge of imperfection that gives the work character and openness. A counterbalance to overly polished interiors – a work that dares to breathe.
Fronsac reflects the tension between control and release. Between logic and warmth. It is exactly within that contrast that the most interesting image emerges for me.
The painting is framed in dark wood with a subtle wine-red glow, deepening the palette and quietly bringing the entire piece together.
Lussac
100 x 150 cm | acrylic on linen
Bordeaux
Lussac is an abstract painting that carries both calmness and richness, built up in layers that slowly reveal their depth. Like a more mature wine, the work develops through nuance – restrained, yet full of character. The underlying layers of dark bronze, champagne gold and rose gold create a warm foundation that softly reflects the light.
The build-up of burgundy and red tones is fuller and deeper than in Fronsac. Here, a certain calmness and balance take over, allowing the colours to blend more seamlessly into one another. The contrast lies less in colour itself, and more in the layering of textures and structures. Warm richness is interrupted by soft, irregular traces, keeping the work alive without becoming restless.
Lussac is about the balance between perfection and imperfection. About allowing a touch of rawness within a refined whole. The work offers a counterbalance to the need for everything to feel sleek and controlled, bringing warmth and depth back into the space.
The painting is framed in dark wood with a subtle wine-red glow, deepening the palette and quietly tying the work together.
