Basins No. 9 (after Bosch), oil on canvas, 120 x 100 cm, 2026

Available on Singulart >

This painting draws inspiration from the fantastical worlds of Hieronymus Bosch, echoing his vision of lush, seductive gardens. The fountain becomes an alchemical symbol of transforming our impulses, while the figures and creatures hint at the subtle unease beneath that beauty. By blending whimsy with disquiet, the work reflects on how our appetites can lead toward darker personal and social outcomes. The scene invites viewers to linger in that tension, recognizing the enchantment of the garden while also sensing the shadow it inevitably casts.
