Artworks

I paint in a way that lets people use their imagination to complete the picture making their own experience based on the colour, forms and linework.The nature of the work is very caligraphic. The contrasting lines represent the text and the colours and shapes create the emotional verbs allowing the each piece to talk in a visual sense.The application is very much inspired by a unique movement. Each element super imposed without guide lines, each painting unique in the journey of colour and shapes.

Making Music

For may years now I have been making music and ambient compositions. The initial realisation was thanks to a visit in London of a staged meditation hut for an art exhibition. After being cocooned in the hut and lulled by relaxing recordings I came out with the idea that not only was it interesting but almost essential that my artistic and commercial productions would be more complete with an appropriate use of sound.

Many of my initial tracks have a theme and I try to tell a story or impart a feeling through the choice of instruments, tempo and and rhythms.Here is a sample player of some of the tracks I have made.

Logos + Illustration

Some of the identities that I have built and illustrations. Before starting any logo I like to get an understanding of the target audience then I build a written brief to help capture and best represent the direction the brand is looking grow. After that its brainstorming and into sketches.

Outdoor Design and Realisations

Some new ideas and techniques to create landscapes, sculptures and outdoor buildings. Developing new techniques to better integrate exterior elements with harmonious applications.

Outdoor art is something that I have been doing for a few years now. There are various projects that I have worked on from concrete constructions, landscape designs and buildings. A common element has been the use of recycled materials wherever possible. I have always liked getting the most out of any material and believe that recycling is a way to not only help avoid increase potentially hazardous landfill but also a great chance to open your own creative process and build something useful or even beautiful.

If we all stop and think what it would take to mine some copper to make a wire or even make an item like a glass bottle then we would start to realise that the things we are throwing away have gone through a long production process to arrive in our hands and we should be returning them for recycling or extending their product life.
