About the Artist

Statement

Working principally in two distinct disciplines, painting and sculpting, both intellectually complementary, he succeeds in transmitting a spiritual analysis that touches our profound sensibilities. This is accomplished with a purity of line and simplicity of form, which transcends a wide range of textures and subtle balanced colours, always searching and aiming towards the light. This shows us at what point the artist attains the depths of the human soul. From this strength of expression flows a force and wisdom...

At present living and working in France. He left his native England in 1991 to install the studio in Provence. He works in two parallel ways "Abstract Symbolism", and "Abstract". The theme "Human Emotions», evolves symbolically around our everyday lives. It contains what is fundamental to human existance, the family, our children and the people close to us. The oval being the symbol of expression par excellences, recuring incessantly in his work passing by a multitude of transformations. The form itself is metaphorical, representing the egg, the beginning of life. Portraying, the facets of human existence in this way, he gives us the keys to our imagination and emotions…
"Throughout my life I have studied many techniques, not to become a specialist in one but to be able to realize my dreams..."
