I have recently been drawn to painting iconic characters and in film there is, in my opinion the standout figure of Hannibal Lecter played by Anthony Hopkins. I took inspiration from both the Silence of the lambs film where Hannibal is first viewed wearing his mask and Red dragon ,where he first appeared as a character although the original Lecter was portrayed by Brian Cox. I have some preliminary sketches of Cox but felt the image may have appeared confusing. I hoped to convey the menace that Lecter projected in the film and on first viewing my daughter said "creepy" even though she hasn't seen the films, I was pleased the feel came across. I often paint in acrylic as I feel it allows me the fluidity of watercolor while the strength of color that oil or gouache provide Lecter used hypnotism and suggestion in the films and my thoughts were in that space when creating this piece.

I was born and grew up in Leeds and now currently live in a small village approx 10 miles from york. I studied art at school and continued with "A" art and art history in college concentrating on M.C.Esher and Van Gogh as initial influences and attended courses on photography and photo development. I also qualified as a carpenter and enjoy wood carving. I built myself a purpose built studio to paint in and the majority of the works I have displayed on Saatchi have been produced in there.
