“Dappled Light” is an original oil on canvas by Paul Chizik, framed in a rich espresso-toned frame that enhances the warm reflections of the water and stone.

A classically trained painter rooted in the European atelier tradition, Chizik is widely admired for his mastery of natural light and his ability to distill atmosphere into painterly poetry. His plein-air dedication and rigorous training have made him one of Western Canada’s most respected contemporary realists.

In this intimate study of a rocky stream, Chizik captures the quiet brilliance of sunlight dancing across water. Smooth stones shimmer beneath the surface as golden reflections ripple and shift, creating a sense of movement and tranquility. His confident, textured brushwork brings the scene to life, revealing both the clarity of shallow water and the softness of filtered light.

A serene, immersive landscape that highlights Chizik’s extraordinary sensitivity to light, colour, and natural detail.
