Self-taught Outsider artist:

Started painting again during a period of serious illness...

I have no explicit style as such, I just do what I do when I do it; but I suppose my work falls under the stlyes of Neo-Expressionist representational portraiture to representational abstract. I call it, like all other Art "Ontomorphic/isform" in style and movement, derived from:

Onto-morphe:

"Onto": Greek for "being, that which is."
"Morphe": Greek for "Form" and "undergo or cause to undergo a gradual process of transformation."

In other words, in English, my style translates as "is-form" or "is-forming"

Obsessed with Art/Life/Ontomorphosis: For me, Everything is Art to the degree one sees Art in Everything. Personally I see Art in everything from duchamps urinal, dead rats to aircraft carriers, cranes, stars, planets, local councils, circuit boards, maggots, you name it, it's all Art for me, whether it's good or bad is of no real concern to me either, thats up to the critic in you; All I see is faces and patterns, everywhere and everything saturated with meaning...

Art for me is synomymous with Nature/The Divine/Reality
