 y main medium is oil painting, I use oils as a means to utilise the figurative with the abstract. To be able create the effect of flow, and form, to merge the figurative with the abstract. Main subject concern music, energy, colour and depth. I use colour as a form in order to bring out the maximum effect and flexibility of oil on stretched canvas, to merge the figurative with the abstract with movement. I also do drawings in conjunction with my painting. I like to work at various sizes, so I can maximise the effect of the painting/drawing. I mix my colour, to give depth, to bring the out the subjects with the other colours, to form a basis for merging & re emerging each colour to compliment each other. Main subjects are, music, landscape(abstract) bits of clothing/footwear & themes. I like my work to shine, to bring the colours out, and see how each painting take on a life of its own by bringing light & form and merging them together. My work is influenced by a lot of continental artists mainly from Spain &France.
