Growing up, the artist was heavily influenced by their father, who was a self-taught artist with a strong emphasis on composition and perspective. Alongside their brother, they engaged in competitive painting throughout their childhood, using script paper brought home by their father, who was a cameraman for the BBC, as their canvas. While their brother pursued a successful career as a graphic artist, the artist chose to become an engineer, but continued to sketch and paint as a hobby, particularly enjoying working with oil paints.
Recently, the artist has been able to rekindle their passion for oil painting and has found great joy in fully immersing themselves in the artistic process. They embrace the challenge of capturing various subjects, from landscapes to figures, as a way to continuously learn and grow as an artist. With each painting, they gain a deeper insight into the complexities of artistry, finding excitement in experimenting with shapes and colors rather than focusing on intricate details.
The artist's love for the physicality of brushwork in oils is evident in their loose and expressive approach to painting. They also find solace in the precision and change of pace offered by pencil sketching, in both monochrome and color. Ultimately, the artist views their artistic pursuits as a source of great fun and fulfillment, hoping that others can derive as much enjoyment from their work as they do in creating it.
For those looking to enhance their home or office decor with unique and vibrant art pieces, the artist's prints are a wonderful choice. Each piece reflects their passion, creativity, and dedication to their craft, making them a perfect addition to any art lover's collection.
