STILL LIFE FINE ART

My professional career began in 1998 painting still life which has continued as my specialisation since. It is an ideal genre to develop skills, I have learned how to paint a variety of textures and colours.

All of the objects are contemporary and classical, acquired from quality interior shops usually manufactured in France and Italy.

I also use only the most modern and cutting edge spectral palette and technical methods which ensures the luminosity of the painting.

It is true to say that this blend of the classical and contemporary can be found throughout my work.

OTHER FINE ART GENRES

As the years progressed and when quality reference material was available I decided to also paint other subjects. This has produced a diverse variety of paintings. The reference material can take several years to collect and the painting is started only when something special can be produced.

I have a classical realism approach to my work and use only genuine settings and models in period costume to ensure the quality and authenticity of the painting.

My paintings are in private collections in the UK, USA and Australia.
