GEOMETRIC ABSTRACTION 24 artworks

I love abstract constructions where I can juggle and work around shape, colour and texture. Finding harmonious combinations with a minimalist approach are my key priority. I usually opt for a limited palette of colours, using 3 essential shades on the one artwork. My work is bold, clean and crisp. I contrast shapes and textures. Signature dot work backgrounds are prominent on each painting.

FRAME IT - 80CM X 60CM FORMAT 23 artworks

This series is related to a specific format. I work on canvas-coated board, with a white passe-partout and frame. Acrylic paint, mixed media using thick gesso for the textured elements, and more often than not signature background dot work in the darker elements. The artworks can be showcased with or without the glass depending on your own preferences.

AS LIGHT AS A FEATHER 1 artwork

This series focuses on free form and floating elements through spacial exploration and a conscious effort to not fill the entire canvas. A minimalist approach where the complexity of simplicity is fundamental and finding the ultimate balance between painted and unpainted surfaces in order to create a feeling of weightlessness and liberty.

AS FREE AS THE WIND BLOWS 5 artworks

Let the black line follow its own path. A series of totally unique and one-off pieces, where the black line is the master of ceremony. With agility and grace, it sets the tempo. Welcome surprise and unexpectedness. Welcome dashes of colour to create shape and structure.

SMALL FORMATS 35 artworks

Diverse smaller formats, 30cm x 30cm, 50cm x 50cm, 40cm x 60 ... Mixed media on canvas, acrylic paint, sometimes framed. All work on canvas.

PAPERFOLDS 1 artwork

Intrigued by 3D art and the fusion of geometric abstraction, Paperfolds is a collage mini series using Japanese paper and acrylic paint.

BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH 16 artworks

My latest series "Between heaven and earth", is a conscious break away from my more obvious geometrical and structured contemporary paintings but still highlights my love of colour and the possibility to mix and blend these together. In this collection, I have chosen to recall elements of the world around us... the sky, seascapes, landscapes etc and hope that I will capture the viewer's attention and spark his imagination and own emotions.

LARGE FORMATS, DIPTYCHS, TRIPTYCHS and more... 4 artworks

Modular compositions are an inherent feature of my painting collections. Many artworks can be hung vertically or horizontally according to the wall space you have available. My signature is most generally positioned on the right edge of the painting. Consequently you have the option to turn the paintings as you please.
