INFLUENCES
Being Aspergers and on the autistic spectrum, I like to work closely with balance with particular attention to symmetry, producing clean and minimalistic work. My commissioned paintings are vibrant & colourful, abstracting to a just recognisable vision, from the original image. I like to switch colours, keeping the same depth, to bring a colourful array of colours.
My conceptual works, come from reading about psychology, philosophy, mathematics, chance, random, chaos theory & other readings of the time of conception. I then make use of the colour relationships & geometry, in a graphical style preferring to work on a larger scale.
