Gerald Knowles

For over four decades, I have walked the path of architecture and teaching, weaving experiences into a tapestry of form and meaning. To me, every line, curve, and shadow is more than technique—it is a language of presence, a meditation on space. Sketching, drawing, and photography are not tools but companions, guiding me toward the hidden harmony that binds cathedrals, villas, museums, and cities into living stories.

Art is the bridge I speak across—the dialogue between the seen and the unseen. Inspired by travels and the quiet intricacies of nature, my work transforms fleeting impressions into timeless expressions. Driftwood’s raw texture, the symmetry of a mantis, the abstraction of coastal horizons—all become portals into a world of vivid color, organic form, and concealed narrative. Each piece invites contemplation, offering not décor but resonance: a reminder of the harmony between art, architecture, and nature.
