About The Artwork
This painting is the first of an ongoing series. The concept of dress up and the costumes children love to wear. And how as adults we continue to dress up, be it following a fashion, a religion, a group, a work team etc. We continue to dress up all our lives. As adults we have free will, children are subjected to the will of their parents. Having ventured and lived in many countries with multiple religions, I find this to be a vast topic to explore creatively. Especially in relation to children. Here we see the same child mirrored as if playing hide and seek with himself, but one version of the child is dressed in his own superhero choice - Mighty Raju for this portrait - a popular Indian cartoon superhero. The other child is dressed in a little Shiva costume that his parents may have chosen to dress him in at a Maha Shivaratri festival. A celebration of the Hindu God Shiva. The series encompasses the twelve main religions, plus the religion of fashion, social media, etc. I chose to use children four years and under to express this concept, as they are beautifully judgment free at this age.

United Kingdom
I am a creative nomad, journeying between the UK, Australia and Bali, Indonesia. I love to paint people, children in particular, and the wise, elderly. The innate ‘joie de vivre’ they possess inspires all of my art. Light fascinates me and is a continual source of curiosity. Australian light is dazzling, almost painful to the eye. Balinese light is warm and nurturing and the light of the UK has a depth and contrast that has kept us artists motivated for eons. Colour and how it plays within the light excites me. I see energy as colour and intuitively express the colours I see around people. I choose to portray my subjects at one with their environment, present in their moment so they become transparent to the moment. It is my aim, to transmit the energy I see into my art. Vincent Van Gogh (my hero) with his sublime use of colour has been a steady and constant influence. I intend my paintings to vibrate with energy. The dry pigments I use, some containing pure metals, gold, silver and ground crystals, I apply at the completion of a piece using my hands, no brush, this I believe helps create the energetic vibration of the light. Thank you for your time or as we say in Bali - Suksema Tonia.
