Beautiful, But Not Harmless

Beauty is not always gentle. Beautiful, But Not Harmless is a series about elegance with an edge — quiet power, restrained wildness and the respect that some things demand.

Night settled on the flowers says it plainly: beauty is deceptive. Beauty that must not be touched is about dangerous elegance, I saw you first about quiet dominance, and Do not mistake silence for surrender! about untamed dignity. Even Don’t move! It’s blooming…, the lightest painting here, asks you to stay still and only look.

These are paintings for walls that should hold attention, not only decorate. Each one has its own page with the story behind it.
