WITHIN THE STILLNESS

I’ve always been drawn to quiet spaces — places that feel slightly out of reach, or just beyond the moment. I prefer stillness over spectacle, and I enjoy creating scenes that feel like memory more than observation.

These images began as AI-assisted artworks, but every piece was guided by intent — a specific vision. I shape each one carefully, adjusting colour, tone, composition, and atmosphere until it feels right to me.

I’m inspired by rural life, and by the beauty in the moments around me. I create not to impress, but to evoke.

Though digital in their creation, I’ve always seen these works as physical things — meant to be printed, hung, and lived with.

Within the Stillness is a collection of stillness, light, and memory. I hope it meets you somewhere quiet.
