Major paintings are not always very big. Sometimes they are, and this one is in the middle. A typical busy work, with lots of different flowers and a lot of colours. Not many artists in Australia dear to tackle a busy composition like this. There is a lot to see, and when you are finished you want to look again. When I go for a walk in the garden, I pick different flowers, but when I need a particular one but is out of season, I can only work from memory. With every flower I paint I am re-living memories because of their scent.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
Kivits’ classic oeuvre includes not only original Still-life’s, but also Fruit and Floral compositions, Landscapes, Seascapes and Figurative works in glazes of oil-paint. Predominantly tapping into his antique collection for inspiration, his works take considerably longer to produce; hence a small number of masterpieces are created annually.
True traditional realism, all in the line from the Sixteenth century European Masters onward, he is staying true to these time-proven styles, refusing digital means to aid his work, e.g. projection, pre-printed canvas, grid tracings, or anything but the skill of his own eyes to hand.
Dutch-born Kivits' has firmly established himself in Australia as a legitimate Brand over the years, and his creations have found their ways to art lovers in many developed countries.
