Contemporary Fine Artist painting reflective surfaces interiors & abstracts.

Paintings representing reflective interior spaces, thresholds and viewpoints which evoke a sense of spaciousness and inner peace.

Atmospheric and architectural spaces painted from memory, photographs and the imagination. Applied textures, layers and technical qualities to the painted surface to evoke a sense of dimension, acoustic, sound and light properties.

The paintings are often framed from a filmic viewpoint, incorporating reflective surfaces and counterintuitive perspectives.

These paintings sit between realism and impressionism and often include characteristic elements from the artist’s background, as well as occasional playful abstraction.

Paintings - Oil / Acrylic / Ink / mixed media on canvas or board.
