About The Artwork

PLEASE NOTE DUE TO CURRENT COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS THE SHIPPING TIME MIGHT TAKE 3-4 DAYS LONGER THAN USUAL. Atmospheric evening landscape with the sunset light, the fourth piece out of 5 in the Twilight series. Oil on canvas, framed and ready to hang. The series is inspired by Robert Bly's poem entitled "Living at the end of time". Living at the End of Time BY ROBERT BLY There is so much sweetness in children’s voices, And so much discontent at the end of day, And so much satisfaction when a train goes by. I don’t know why the rooster keeps crying, Nor why elephants keep raising their trunks, Nor why Hawthorne kept hearing trains at night. A handsome child is a gift from God, And a friend is a vein in the back of the hand, And a wound is an inheritance from the wind. Some say we are living at the end of time, But I believe a thousand pagan ministers Will arrive tomorrow to baptize the wind. There’s nothing we need to do about John. The Baptist Has been laying his hands on earth for so long That the well water is sweet for a hundred miles. It’s all right if we don’t know what the rooster Is saying in the middle of the night, nor why we feel So much satisfaction when a train goes by.

My landscape art follows on my previous academic research into the depth and beauty that can be found in solitude. I see painting as a very personalised, subjective, emotional process. My creation is hardly ever an accurate depiction of an actual landscape scene. Most of the time it is a reflection of my memories woven with imagination and affected by my emotions, dreams, desires, the music I hear, poetry, and my love of nature. I am fascinated by unexpected - yet unspeakably beautiful and mysterious – encounters of light and dark, day and night, real and dreamy. In this understanding, my paintings mirror and penetrate the intricate depths of human mind itself. Mesmerised by bloody orange skies and the blackness of the trees filtered by own emotional states and memories, here I find the most powerful desire to create. Inspired by the likeness of the magical and real, spiritual and natural, twilight and dawn, I keep experimenting and developing tones with oil paints, often preceded by acrylics, pastels and watercolours. I usually start with an abstract underpainting, followed by the tonal applications of undiluted fine quality oil paints, applied in subtle blended layers. Final stages of the process involve the addition of bolder, thicker, more defined and textured oil colours, to create the desired perspective and atmosphere. I then leave the painting for some time, watching it for many days, until I am satisfied with the final result.
