Visual Stillness Composition™
In a world that rushes, this work holds still. Visual Stillness Composition™ is more than a style — it’s a posture. Each piece is created to invite pause, presence, and quiet observation. Using a soft oil wash technique and delicate vignettes, these compositions don’t shout — they listen.They offer room to breathe, space to reflect, and the kind of visual silence that stays with you long after you’ve looked away.
Visual Stillness Composition™
Art that listens before it speaks. Art that holds space.
Visual Stillness Composition™ is more than a style — it’s a presence. Created by Derryl P. Kostynuik, this signature approach blends painterly softness with cinematic quiet, capturing moments so still they breathe. Each piece is composed to invite reflection, evoke emotion, and create space for the viewer to enter — not just observe.
Trained in the classical arts at the Alberta College of Art and Design, Derryl brings decades of mastery in traditional composition, drawing, color, and form to his digital process. This foundation ensures every piece — even those assisted by modern tools — is grounded in authentic visual storytelling and timeless technique.
In a world overwhelmed by noise and speed, this work stands apart. It doesn’t shout. It listens. It holds a gaze. It becomes part of a home, a memory, a legacy.
That’s why collectors, storytellers, and seekers of depth are drawn to Derryl’s art. Every image is crafted with a balance of design mastery, emotional weight, and timeless quiet — making it instantly recognizable, irreplicable, and profoundly human.
This is not just wall art.
This is Visual Stillness Composition™ — and it holds space for something more.
Visual Stillness Composition™ – Brand Manifesto
In a world overwhelmed by noise, Visual Stillness Composition™ offers something rare — silence.
Not emptiness. Not absence. But presence.
A deliberate quiet, crafted with intention — to hold space, invite reflection, and awaken memory.
This is not art made for fleeting attention.
It is art built to pause time —
To stir something unsaid,
To speak gently in stillness,
To remain with you, long after the glance has passed.
Born from four decades of traditional design and illustration — including classical training at the Alberta College of Art and Design — this signature style blends oil-wash depth with a cinematic eye for narrative. The process merges analog sensibility with AI as a digital brush — guided, curated, and composed by a human hand trained long before digital tools existed.
No filters. No trends.
Only truth — captured in composition, color, and emotional weight.
This is where fine art meets quiet power.
This is the style they can’t replicate.
This is Visual Stillness Composition™.
Art that listens before it speaks.
Art that holds space.
Creative Integrity Statement
Every piece in this collection is conceived, directed, and refined through my personal creative hand. While I use AI-assisted tools to support the early composition process, the vision behind each image is shaped by over four decades of experience — including formal training at the Alberta College of Art and Design, where I first learned the foundational disciplines of form, drawing, composition, light, and visual storytelling.
The AI is never left to decide — it is a tool, guided by a human artist with a trained eye and a reverence for stillness. Each image is then refined using professional-grade software to enhance texture, tone, and composition until it reflects the emotional clarity and narrative balance I intend.
These works are not merely generated.
They are guided.
They are interpreted.
They are crafted — by human hands, with an unwavering commitment to meaning, beauty, and presence.
