Biography
I am a professional artist specializing in realism contemporary still life. I also paint other subjects when a strong subject is encountered. I use a cutting-edge chromatic palette which creates great luminosity in the painting.
I also attach great significance to the demonstration of the skills appreciated by the discerning collector. My paintings are detailed and realistic but never overworked. Elements which detract from the viewers experience are excluded or reduced and aspects which require increased significance are exaggerated. This is all part of my style and has been developed over many years.
My work hangs in private collections in the UK, USA, Australia and China.
