Petre and Irina Lavrente create still life paintings in the traditional technique of oil on panel. Their artistic project develops upon the techniques of seventeenth-century Dutch Master painters. Capturing elements from nature brought into daily life, their compositions are simple, static, with no intended decorative effect. They are preoccupied with a precise rendering of the form and the exact materiality of the plastic elements, with minutely realized details in their simplicity and naturality.
