In the spirit of Van Gogh, where any object can be looked at with wonder for its simple beauty, D.G.Coupal often creates paintings, often studies, of single objects or groupings of objects seeking to communicate the essence of the "thing".

Visit the Still Life Studies Gallery

The belief that "the eyes are the window to the soul" is firmly held by D.G.Coupal as he seeks to represent the essential, and distinct, spirit of the individual, beyond physical attributes. There is nothing more satisfying to an artist than capturing the spirit of a subject on canvass.

“Friedrich Nietzsche once wrote: ‘without music, life would be a mistake’.  In my perception of the world, this also applies to art, to writing, to books, and movies, and...well, so many things that make up that essential music in our lives."
