About The Artwork
'The visible form not only points to an invisible mystery of the depth, but it is its appearance; it reveals it, but at the same time it also shelters and veils it'. Hans Ur von Balthasar was a theologian who wrote about aesthetics. He believed that beauty is transcendental, able to communicate something non-verbally without saying it at all. It invites you to partake in the greater mystery which is the organising principle of the form. This work celebrates his work. The beauty is abstract but there is a clear organising form, yet it resists being a landscape entirely. There are clouds but in a surreal ochre sky and the turquoise and black meet in an usual way; the black admitting the turquoise within itself, like the mystery and what it is pointing to.

United Kingdom
My art is primarily organic abstraction, often portraying surreal and softened landscapes. A dream or nebulous quality marks both transitions and compositions. This is derived from a mode of life, which is rooted in inner stillness. I live in South West France, surrounded by tranquil forests. That quietness of being is what I strive for in my studio. I paint without distraction, so that I can fully connect with what I am creating. The more I can remove myself from the process, the better the work. I only paint in oils as they give such wonderful luminosity and I prefer large scale pieces for freedom of mind.
