I'm an experimental artist. I have a very diverse background having began life as a cartoonist and illustrator at a young age and ultimately worked in Creative Director roles within advertising agencies. Whether my name is familiar or not, my work is sure to be as I have been fortunate enough to work with brands and clients worldwide. Nowadays...(I'm not as old as that makes me sound) I use my conceptual mind to establish appropriate styles and mediums for individual clients for specific occasions or installations to commission. I work in a variety of mediums sometimes mixing traditional and modern, or even self developed techniques to create one-off bespoke pieces.
Aside from my bespoke work I also work on my own creations, the most recent solo show in Warsaw Poland comprised of a variety of personal pieces reflecting my own personality! I'm currently working on a follow-up exhibition planned for the very near future which is all very exciting...
I like to think of art as "Rock 'n' Roll' for the eyes". If what you see stirs some emotion within you then in my mind its been worthwhile giving up a piece of me to create it...
Pour moi la peinture est...
not confined solely to painting but creating in general. For me its a release, a drug and love.
Quel était votre premier tableau vendu?
I have been producing art for as long as I can remember. I rarely used paper, often sections of timber or anything that happened to be laying around I would adorn with a cartoon or illustration of some form, often then given away to whomever showed an interest in taking it! I can't recall the first one I actually sold, though the first one I remember receiving cash for was an illustrated comical interpretation of a pub quiz which I observed as an 11 year old.
Ce qui m'inspire c'est...
everyday life, politics, people and events. We as humans don't spend long enough observing and appreciating what is happening around us, we are all too busy with our own agenda's. But if you take a moment to stop and take it in there is a world of inspiration right there.
