This collection, "Impressions," reimagines the impressionist style through a contemporary lens, creating a synthesis that honours tradition while speaking directly to our modern experience. Unlike traditional impressionism that primarily focused on capturing ephemeral light and atmosphere, this collection employs a more structured approach—using deliberate brushwork and compositional elements to convey the inherent uncertainty of contemporary existence.

The artist has maintained the characteristic broken brushwork and vibrant palette of the 19th century impressionists, but introduce greater intentionality in their technique. Where classical impressionism often emphasized the fleeting nature of visual perception, these works delve deeper into the philosophical dimensions of transience, applying this quality to human experience itself.

The philosophical underpinning of "Impressions" resonates deeply with our current cultural moment. These works acknowledge that while we construct narratives of control over our lives, we are perpetually shaped by forces beyond our comprehension or influence. The technically refined yet deliberately indistinct quality of these paintings serves as both aesthetic choice and metaphorical statement about the human condition.

By revisiting impressionism through this conceptual framework, the collection invites viewers to reconsider their relationship with uncertainty. The blurred boundaries, vibrant colors, and fragmented light don't merely represent visual perception but become metaphors for life itself—beautiful in its impermanence, profound in its ambiguity, and ultimately beyond our complete control.

"Impressions" doesn't simply update a historical style; it transforms impressionism into a visual philosophy perfectly suited to our complex age—reminding us that to surrender to life's flow is not defeat, but perhaps the deepest form of wisdom.

The collection is organized around universal moments of human life—each rendered with both impressionistic softness and contemporary precision.

The role of animals in our life is an important one. Should we reconsider our place among animals? Is the boundary between humans and animals dissolving?

In the "Animal Proximity" section of the collection, the artists create visual dialogues that challenge our presumed distance from other creatures. These works capture intimate moments where animals and humans could share a fundamental connection. Through techniques that echo Renoir's emotional warmth while employing more contemporary compositional strategies, these paintings dissolve the artificial boundaries we've constructed between species.

The dog's eyes reflect a depth of understanding that transcends language and suggests a shared essence that challenges our taxonomic presumptions.

The leopard grace is similar to the grace of a woman walking in the street. It creates visual rhymes between human arm and feline limb. The traditional hierarchy that would position the human as separate from and superior to the wild animal dissolves, suggesting evolutionary kinship rather than fundamental difference. The question posed isn't merely aesthetic but deeply philosophical: What truly separates us when our biological foundations, emotional responses, and capacity for connection share such profound similarities?

The sleepy bear seems very familiar to a human sleeping after a long day at work.

These works invite us to reconsider fundamental questions: Are our emotional responses truly different from those of the elephant mourning its dead? Does our social organization really distinguish us from wolf packs with their complex hierarchies and communication systems? Is our cognitive functioning truly separate from the problem-solving capabilities of corvids and cetaceans, or merely different in degree rather than kind?

The final, provocative piece addressing wolves and sheep directly confronts the limits of coexistence. Rather than providing easy answers, the composition uses spatial tensions and ambient lighting to suggest both the possibility and challenge of proximity between predator and prey. This relationship serves as metaphor for the broader ecological questions we face: Can we forge new relationships with the natural world that transcend the extractive and oppositional frameworks that have dominated our approach?

Through these works, "Animal Proximity" suggests that our perceived separation from other creatures may be the true illusion—a convenient fiction that allows us to avoid confronting our place within, rather than above, the intricate web of life that sustains us all.
