About The Artwork

Something special is that the original photo of this doughnut is from my cook book. I received my diploma in culinary arts in 2012 and published a pastry cook book as the final chapter of my culinary career. Creatively the result is immensely satisfying, I made the doughnut and decorated it, improved the recipe and added it to my recipe book. Now we've come full circle with the painting! It is a nice feeling that the subject matter is also something I made with my hands. I wanted to draw attention to the appreciation of simplicity, its a simple sweet doughnut but its certainly not boring. I wanted to challenge viewers to think about expectations. What does simplicity mean to them? What does complexity mean to them? I chose to do a 24K gold leaf background using real gold because traditionally that is what I have used in my French pastry career. It seemed only fitting and once I started adding it I knew it was the perfect fit. I let the gold infringe on the edges of the doughnut in some areas as a reminder that it isn't a photo. I am very pleased with the end result and the rustic elegance the gold leaf added. Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity signed and notarized with my artists stamp. The certificate includes a photo of the art work, written description, signature, and unique serial number.

Hi there! I'm Aniika (Anne-ih-kuh), an oil painter and video creator who loves to share my creative process with others. For as long as I can remember, I've been drawn to the beauty and expressive potential of oil painting. There's something incredibly satisfying about taking a blank canvas and turning it into a stunning work of art that speaks to the heart and soul. In addition to my passion for oil painting, I've also found great joy in creating videos that showcase my artistic process. Through my videos, I'm able to share the tools, techniques, and insights that go into creating a beautiful painting. I love to take my viewers on a journey from the initial sketches and color palette choices to the final brushstrokes that bring the piece to life. For me, art is all about storytelling. I strive to create paintings that tell a story and evoke emotions in the viewer. Whether it's a landscape that captures the beauty of the natural world or a portrait that captures the essence of a person's soul, my goal is to create something that resonates with others. Through my oil paintings and videos, I hope to inspire others to tap into their own creativity and embrace the beauty of the artistic process. I believe that art has the power to connect people, transcend language barriers, and bring joy and beauty into the world. --------- Aniika Gjesvold Cantero is an award winning contemporary realist painter who lives and works in Scottsdale, Arizona.
