When I first started art training after a long career in business management, I was attracted to it by its representational ability. The luminosity of flesh tones, the subtlety of light transitions, and the exuberance of silk clothing in museum paintings have always captured my attention for hours.
So I attended The London Atelier of Representational Art and, subsequently, The Barnes Atelier of Art in London to receive intensive representational art training. Although these vigorous skill based trainings take many years for one to master, the approach to drawing and painting which favours order, beauty, harmony and completeness is exactly what I am attracted to.
I am now practising art at my studio near London, producing portraits, figurative art, still life, and landscapes. Creating classical, traditional, realistic images that touch upon universal and timeless themes never ceases to inspire. No matter what the subject matter is, I would like to see that my pictures should always evoke feelings and thoughts with the viewers.
