Samsara

— sets the tone for a work that feels both serene and quietly symbolic. Through his meticulous glazing technique, de Bono renders the subject with jewel‑like clarity, allowing light to glide across each surface in a way that suggests renewal, continuity and stillness.

The composition is deliberately pared back, inviting the viewer to focus on the interplay of form, texture and reflection. De Bono’s disciplined realism transforms the everyday into something contemplative, encouraging a moment of pause. The painting’s calm equilibrium, paired with its subtle luminosity, evokes the rhythm of repetition and return — themes that resonate deeply within his wider still‑life practice.

Recognised as one of Britain’s leading realist painters, with works selected for multiple Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions and held in collections across the UK and internationally, de Bono brings both technical mastery and emotional nuance to Samsara. It is a refined and thoughtful piece, ideal for collectors who appreciate contemporary British art that balances precision with quiet philosophical resonance.
