Piece description from the artist
Divine Monarchs in Blue is a large blue and green semi-abstract painting of two beautiful deer in a bluebell wood. It is 48×48×1.5 inches. The painting was inspired during springtime in East Sussex when the woodlands become carpeted in bluebells. I rarely spot deer in the forests as deer hide expertly, but in springtime it is easier to see them against the blues, lilacs and pinks of the flowers. I began the painting thinking to make a traditional portrait of a stag and a doe but found it impossible. Deer are just too ethereal and I am too inclined to try and capture the spirit of them rather than the anatomical accuracies – so this is what happened instead. The painting shimmers with the life and energy of the universe under trees and I have made the most of the interplay between sun and shade by contrasting the blue and lilacs of the shadows against the yellows, pinks and greens of the sun dappled scene. Painted on deep edge canvas, edges white, ready to hang, no frame needed. Comes with certificate of authenticity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSq-3wRMCnY
I am a Sussex based artist who paints large semi-abstract oils that aim to capture, not just the visual echoes of a location, but its scents, sounds, and spiritual energies. They are inspired during my regular walks in landscapes and any encounters with wildlife and birds.
My paintings are completely unique in style.
I often paint from memory as it better allows me to move beyond traditional realism and into magical realism using colour, texture and light to express the magic I sense in wild meadows, forests, seas and rivers.
My technique is rooted in traditional oil painting as I build each piece with layers of glaze, texture, and intuitive, art nouveau like, brush stokes, letting the painting evolve organically in a controlled chaos.
Animals, pathways, and portals are recurring motifs in my painting’s, often as symbols of the mysteries that lie just beyond the visible. I am fascinated by the folklore and hidden stories woven into the countryside.
I regard my paintings as a captured universes and moments of time. I hope to inspire a deeper appreciation for the natural world and its wildlife and to encourage its protection as well as to provide a place for viewers to escape beyond the mundane and be more curious about the spiritual…
