Colours like people have personality. Some colours are totally wild and get up to all kinds of mischief yet others like to sit back and talk with the adults over a cup of tea – that’s why I like colour. Now imagine what kind of experiments you can make when you combine these personalities within the confine of a canvas… well, that’s why I like painting! What’s most profoundly astounding is when an actual human gets entangled in the conversation – that’s when the painting really comes to life.

Inspiration

I am a huge fan of Picasso, Miro, the Fibonacci Sequence and the number 3 – a dynamic factor in my work. My approach to painting tends to favour seemingly wild brushwork and strident colours – a characteristic of the Fauvism movement from early 1900’s. Whilst the subject I choose is typically motif by nature it is not nearly as important as the rumination – as in chew the fat – that it engenders.
