The Day Dreamer is a reflective piece on procrastination. So much to do and so little time to do it in, yet, I find myself day dreaming more often than I'd like. Some get high & escape to an imaginary world while others just think of everything they have to get done but the 'will do it later' logic kicks in. Then there are people like me - i just day dream. The outside world can wait; depicted through a dividing window illustrating the inside (of the mind) via a lying subject being approached by giant flowers & birds (symbolic of what is wanted rather than what is i.e. the outside (the work, the hours, the expectations, the task lists, the do's & dont's of society), represented here through geometrical patterns. There is a relaxed feel about this work translated through two opposite styles - flat and dimensional, at the same time. I did this to drive overall exaggeration & want viewers of this piece to almost feel the need to 'auto-focus' their eyes to experience the sense of the subject's day dream.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The Day Dreamer is a reflective piece on procrastination. So much to do and so little time to do it in, yet, I find myself day dreaming more often than I'd like.

The outside world can wait; depicted through a dividing window illustrating the inside (of the mind) via a lying subject being approached by giant flowers & birds (symbolic of what is wanted rather than what is i.e. the outside (the work, the hours, the expectations, the task lists, the do's & dont's of society), represented here through geometrical patterns.

I have been painting for about 15 years now but my inherent love for art has been with me since I can remember. Having been born in Hong Kong and travelling the world over since an early age, I have always been aware and heavily influenced by colours associated with different cultures. I paint emotionally driven pieces straight from the heart. My work is inspired by social environments and have an underlying universal theme of survival, often portrayed by the use of bodies, birds & flowers. I find we are all creatures of habit, trying to do the best we can to find peace in the face of sacrifices & externalities that we don’t have control over. I use strong strokes and colours for layers and textures but my unique selling point tends to me my compositions. My all-time favourite artists include Picasso, Kahlo, Matisse and Naqsh. Power, passion, raw & free is what I hope my audience to feel while viewing my work as this is the energy I work with. I have lived in England for half my life and now am residing in Pakistan, a land full of natural beauty that has to be experienced to be believed.
