About The Artwork

A collage/drawing I created inspired by a philosophical expression meaning 'Nothing comes from nothing'. Framed. For if things were created out of nothing, any breed Could be born from any other; nothing would require a seed. People could pop out of the sea, the scaly tribes arise Out of the earth, and winged birds could hatch right from the skies. Born willy-nilly, every animal, both wild and tame, Would inhabit cultivated land and wilderness the same. The same tree would not always grow the same fruit - what might bear An apple one time, might, the next, produce a quince or pear. Since there would be no generating particles, then neither Would certain things arise from only a certain kind of mother. But since in fact each species rises from specific seeds, Each thing springs from the source that has the matter that it needs, The primary particles, and comes into the boundaries Of light, and that's the reason every thing cannot give rise To every other thing, because there is a separate power In distinct things.

I have spent the last decade painting traditionally with oil paints, studying art and writing. I live in the gorgeous cosmopolitan city of London. Ever since I was a child, art has been one of the greatest ways to express myself. When I was three, my best friends were tiny sculptures that I would mould out of play dough. Later they were replaced by figures on paper. And upon finding canvases and oil paints, I felt I had finally found myself as an artist. The current direction of my art is painting surrealistic compositions and portraits in oil. My paintings blend reality with dreams, illogical, unnerving scenes with everyday objects, fear and pain with soft, welcoming faces. The paintings absorb the idea of madness and attempt to analyse the unconscious mind. In addition to my subconscious I am also strongly influenced by literature. I admire such authors as Erich Maria Remarque, Albert Camus, Hermann Hesse, Stephen King, John Connolly, Ian Rankin, Stephen Leather, James Patterson amongst many others. This is the reason why I can call myself an illustrator as well as a painter. I believe art has to affect the audience. If life is full of beauty, love, horror and pain, why should art be any different?
