I was born in 1972 and began oil painting in 2004. In my paintings I combine the conscious intellect with the dream world of the sub-conscious to create artworks that bridge the gap between the surreal and the real. I typically paint in a detailled classical style, layering transparent glazes to create durable artworks with attractive optical effects.

I am a committed and ambitious artist. I believe that what is painted is more important than how, but I also value skill, and I aim to excel in choice of subject and in method of execution.

I believe that a good picture should possess three things; body, the physical appearance of the picture; mind, the meaning on an intellectual level; and soul, the vital feeling, the essential emotion. All great artworks possess these three things. A great artwork is original, it stands alone, it does not require the viewer to know anything about art. A great artwork shows great skill of execution and a powerful imagination. A great artwork is appreciated by small children and intellectuals. A great artwork is unforgettable and everlasting.

I aim to make many great artworks over the coming years. Please look closely at the artwork on this site. Observe and detect my evolution as an artist and anticipate with joy the future paintings I will produce.
