ABOUT THE ARTWORK

On the one hand, this painting seems like a traditional mountainscape with drifts of snow and light rising behind the peak.  However, the work felt restrained somehow and I wanted to make it more myself.  I introduced the bold sweep of Titanium White on the right side of the painting to make it more true to myself, more contemporary and free.  If you look through the body of my work, you will both elements of tradition with dashes of my personality alongside.  That is a more true note for me and is why I have called this work, 'Be Yourself'.

SHIPPING AND RETURNS
Delivery Time:

My art is primarily organic abstraction, often portraying surreal and softened landscapes. A dream or nebulous quality marks both transitions and compositions. This is derived from a mode of life, which is rooted in inner stillness. I live in South West France, surrounded by tranquil forests. That quietness of being is what I strive for in my studio. I paint without distraction, so that I can fully connect with what I am creating. The more I can remove myself from the process, the better the work. I only paint in oils as they give such wonderful luminosity and I prefer large scale pieces for freedom of mind.
