Dirk Agelek

I am a still life painter based in the Black Forest, Germany.
My work explores quiet moments, natural light, and the subtle tension between everyday objects.
Inspired by chiaroscuro traditions and contemporary minimalism, I focus on capturing atmosphere, texture, and the emotional resonance of simple arrangements.
My paintings aim to slow the viewer down — to reveal the quiet drama hidden in plain sight.
My work also appears under the name “Floodlight Fairy,” a reference to the luminous atmospheres that shape my painting practice.

Studied painting with Dieter Becker Salentin at the Bilder-Bühne art school in Gaggenau.
Degree in Marketing Communication from Pforzheim University (School of Design, Technology and Business).
Ongoing still life studies with American artist Kelli Folsom since 2019.
