- About
the work
-
The paintings since 1997 have been inspired by the Alhambra Palace in
Granada, Spain. So far the work has grown to five series which includes
large and small paintings and small drawings. In essence the work
relies on decorative surface and busy design to create a complex
spatial structure.
The
most recent work has concentrated on geometric design that structures
and underpins the compositions. This is an important move from the
architectural structures which previously played that pictorial role.
This has led to colour becoming the main focus for the work, in
exploring visual movement and rhythms. All
art
displayed on
this site is for sale, ranging from £400
for the small works to £9,000
for the larger paintings.
