STILL LIFE EXPO 2017

👉 STILL LIFE is back !

We are proud to present our collection of still life in The House of Music in Ein Karem , Jerusalem.
The exhibition will open the doors in October 2017th, with beginning of new season of concerts ( at weekends , 11AM - 13PM) . The show continues till the end of 2017th.

The current exhibition has been assembled with the intention of encouraging a rethinking of the traditionally narrow definition of still life. The unifying principle of the exposition is each work’s concern with common and familiar objects and the representation of these objects as they serve different artistic ends.

You are welcome to visit the FB page of the exhibition at :

We will be happy to answer your questions about the exposition and the purchase , to receive your feedback and to meet you in Jerusalem at Saturdays.

Sincerely Yours,
Vanessa & Andre Stashinski

Here is tomato-theme comes again. You can call it "tomato-serial". Pictures were updated all together, but they were painted during few days. One big tomato-family was kindly posing.
Why it feels like I'm talking about portraits of Sicilian family?

These tomatos are like scattering beads - aren't them?
I love smoothness and roundness of tomatos, love that they are so pure and rustic, uncomplicated and casual. Simple red, natural sweetness + I love the smell of tomato plant leaves!

Here is Good News: we are going to open an exhibition!

TO TURN BAD INTO GOOD
Where would I begin?
Once upon a time … actually, in 2009, we found ourselves stuck at home for lo-o-o-ong few months for very unwelcome reasons. Even the nearest future was not clear. We used to manage unsettled and full of movement life for years and these new circumstances were very fatiguing.

Fortunately we had a “duck soup“ solution to stay solid - painting . Soon we found ourselves creating one small painting a day. We weren’t new in this business – both of us are into arts from childhood, and we always kept painting, but never did it so intensive! An idea of daily painting fitted us like a glove.

I have to admit that daily painting is great experience! Daily practice gives impressive results – progress is visible and touchable. You are growing up with every canvas and it is amazing feeling. We successes to turn our disadvantage into advantage - prolonged workshop, and it was great!
Such intensive production of still-lifes leaded to gathering of numerous pictures (most of them of similar format and media). They look well all together and in fact they wanted to be shown.
