Method, Materials, Processes

Writing and Photography play an important part in the formation of my ideas.

Since my teens, I have kept notebooks of my ideas and thoughts.

I started taking photographs with 35mm and medium format mechanical film cameras and still use those formats.

I work in oil on canvas. Usually preparing all the materials myself. Very influenced by Titian, Rembrandt, Goya.

He has continued to experiment, rejecting what he does, scraping back old paintings to start again, continuing for months or years until the single painting is realised.
