In the modern world, it's very hard to listen to what lies in the silence in our deepest self. We are constantly bombarded with interference; the internet, live streams, films, social media. I have spent years learning to listen and am still poor at it. But when I do hear, what I hear transcends all my expectation. I hear perfect love, perfect acceptance. I receive light. It's hard to talk about these things without it sounding like a cliché, but in this work, I am striving to say something about that breakthrough moment. I show the light transmitting itself to me - all I can capture is this minor ellipse, much of it bouncing out (left field). Of all the light (message) that is thrown down, only the smallest degree is shown landing.  Yet that light and the silent words within its brilliance, has the capacity to be life changing, if one will pay attention and listen.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In the modern world, it's very hard to listen to what lies in the silence in our deepest self. We are constantly bombarded with interference; the internet, live streams, films, social media. I have spent years learning to listen and am still poor at it. But when I do hear, what I hear transcends all my expectation. I hear perfect love, perfect acceptance. I receive light. It's hard to talk about these things without it sounding like a cliché, but in this work, I am striving to say something about that breakthrough moment. I show the light transmitting itself to me - all I can capture is this minor ellipse, much of it bouncing out (left field). Of all the light (message) that is thrown down, only the smallest degree is shown landing. Yet that light and the silent words within its brilliance, has the capacity to be life changing, if one will pay attention and listen.

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.
