Charm in Chroma

This striking depiction of a stunning young lady captured in a boldly simplified graphic fauvist style was inspired by my graphics background and influenced by my love of the artist Modigliani. The artwork bursts with vibrant hues directly sourced from the paint tubes, evoking a dynamic explosion of colour on the canvas. Her elongated neck reminiscent of Modigliani’s graceful style.

My True Love.
Generally my style of art is Representational – realistic stuff, anything that has a strong recognisable subject. Sometimes however I abandon my fine art lured by my previous life as a graphic designer and momentarily I'm overcome and revert to the use of minimalist shapes, images and bright colours.
Being an impatient individual, I prefer to work with acrylics rather than other mediums because of their quick drying time. This allows me the flexibility to make mistakes, knowing that I'm able to quickly correct and paint over them.
As an artist I usually I start with a pencil sketch in my painting diary. I don't necessarily paint it straight away, but often visit the diary as inspiration for future work. My true love is the challenge of capturing the the things and sights that have inspired me on my travels around and about.
