Still Here (2025) Original Acrylic Painting by Adam Bogusz

Some of us play in the middle of it, and some of us sit at the edge for a while. This painting is for everyone who is still here.
Still Here is an original acrylic painting on board, 45 x 40cm, part of my ongoing series The Middle Country. It began the way these paintings always do, with a loose, accidental ground, half accident and half intention, made somewhere in the middle where the paint and I meet. Out of that ground came a swirling turquoise landscape, cockatoos gathered in a golden tree, and two figures finding their own place in it, one lifted up by the birds, one resting quietly at the edge.
I paint the things that mean something to me: my family, held in the figures and the birds who move through this glowing, imagined landscape. This one is about all the different ways a person can still be here, present in the middle of things or quiet at the edge of them, and how both still count.
