In this piece, I've explored the stark serenity of a snow-clad landscape, using the vivid contrast of the cool blue sky against the sweeping white ground. A lone figure, dwarfed by the expanse, leaves a path of footprints – a narrative of perseverance and reflection. Through bold colours and minimalist design, the painting captures a silent moment of introspection. It's a reminder of the individual's journey amidst the vastness of nature, meant to evoke a sense of peace and contemplation in your space.

Theory that everything matters. That even the flutter of a butterfly's wings can cause a hurricane on the other side of the world. If you change even the smallest of life's details, you completely change its outcome... My painting 'Mountain Sunset' is featured at Artsper...
'Naturalism is a philosophical theory that relates scientific method to philosophy by affirming that all beings and events in the universe (whatever their inherent character may be) are natural. Consequently, all knowledge of the universe falls within the pale of scientific investigation. The theory also encapsulates conjectures about the supernatural. Inspired by Naturalism, a regularity, unity, and wholeness can be seen in artwork since the beginning of time. This search for answers has certainly transcended into the field of art. Man's endless search for concrete proofs of his beliefs is seen as a confirmation of naturalistic methodology... Naturalism is often associated with plein air practice...' ARTSPER Two of my Paris drawings, of Montmartre and La Maison Rose, are featured in a curated collection at Artsper... 'A contour line in all its simplicity is the marking used by artists to define the shape of their subject without using shading. Essentially, they outline the subject, with emphasis on the mass and volume rather than on the details. A fundamental element of any drawing or painting, contour lines are often the first technique adopted when experimenting with art.
As a contour can convey a three-dimensional perspective, length and width as well as thickness and depth are important, and not all contours exist along the outlines of a subject. By altering the type of contour, an artist can convey details aspects of its subjects relating to their shape and form. For example, a lighter line with less gradation suggests a greater distance between the subjects, whereas a darker portion of the contour may depict a subject with little or no light source, thus conveying whether the subject is lower or perhaps compressed. Furthermore, artists use contour lines to add accents or cast shadows.' ARTSPER In this painting I was inspired by the colours of the coast. This large painting on canvas captures the subtle hues of the sea and beach, with the distant mountains and sand dunes in the background, and clouds above. This artwork is ready to hang...
