About the Artist
My paintings are inspired by a variety of sources, principally my perception of reality combined with forms that exist only in my imagination. In my work I try to bring objects to life in a new light, with the desire of creating an evocative atmosphere similar to that woven in spellbinding tales. The colour scheme is inspired by Renaissance and Surrealist art and by the ambience of Gothic where a few predominant colours emerge from the surrounding darkness. Numerous artists have influenced my creativity over the years, so many that it is impossible to list them all; some have been my model and muse: without them and their work to enthuse and encourage me, I would not be where I am today. This has given me real inspiration over the years and has motivated me to carry on painting and to become a professional artist.
