ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This is a large painting, inspired by memories of being on Langkawi Beach in Malaysia. I have used the needles of the sea pine trees (mixed with Acrylics creating a beautiful texture) that I collected on the beach by the Andaman sea. This species of willowy evergreen tree are also known as Casuarina Tree or, more popularly, Sea Pine Tree. These Casuarinas are dotted along the beach.

I paint intuitively without any plan for what the finished piece will be, allowing instinct to guide the creative process. Acting and reacting to the stroke of colour. This encourages my mood, interest and love of colour to be reflected in my work. What is it about my art/abstraction that I am feeling and trying to consciously and subconsciously convey? It is that tightrope that I am trying to walk psychologically from being of mixed race. The Indian and the African- the two cultures which are very rich and dotted with the history of colonisation in both continents. The conflicts and peace are often played out in my paintings. At times the celebration breaks through and yet the conflicts can be quite visceral in my paintings. I am then transported to a Western / European idiom through my 40 years of living in England. I have absorbed rich ideas, customs and values from these three peoples, societies and cultures, which have influenced me both personally and in the expression of my art.
