In this original abstract painting the colours are earthy and subtle and inspired by the mini-worlds discovered under the microscope.
Anatomic Mass IV continues in my fascination with the minutiae of life and aquatic themes. It belongs to my ‘Bio-Cluster’ Series exploring the sublime beauty of microscopic life. I am inspired by the natural world and the forces that shape it. All the tiny fragments of the universe and patterns of life.
The organic cluster motifs I often use allude to pulsating growth formations, cellular life forms and to the beautiful otherworldliness of the microscopic building blocks of life. The variation in the size and shape of the forms in this painting moves our eyes attention in and out of focus across the picture plane. I really enjoy that your eyes get to explore and discover subtle hidden shapes and textures within the painted surface. A joy to the eye and the mind.
The big. The tiny. The sea. The molecules. The microscopic. These things I think about and look at when I create these paintings. They can be viewed as miniscule cell life just as easily as an underwater garden with floating coral blooms.
What I enjoy most about my paintings is they make people smile with a sense of wonderment and feelings of happiness as well as giving their beautiful walls a splash of colour and interest for years to come.
