About

Art for the feelings that are hard to explain.

I paint the things people carry quietly — grief, tenderness, instinct, memory, becoming.

Art-is-Artis is a studio for emotional work. The paintings begin with a feeling, not with a subject.

Sometimes that feeling becomes flowers. Sometimes it becomes an animal, a dark room, a sky, a body, or a colour that refuses to stay quiet.

Originals are released when the right time has come. Commissions are rare, personal, and built around trust.

The name

Art is — art exists.
Artis is — the artist exists.
Art simply exists through Artis.

The work

A painting does not explain the feeling. It gives it somewhere to live.

Commission

Tell me the feeling.

I take only a few commissions a year. If you know what needs to be felt, but not exactly what needs to be painted, write to me.
