The Sigh of the Sky

Neither solely abstract nor representational, the paintings I make could best be described as “figurative abstracts”. I aim to create paintings whose brush-strokes teeter between signalling some form of human activity or celestial body and dissolving into arbitrary painterliness. This piece, The Sigh of the Sky, contains a certain sense of tension as it appears to be both spontaneous and highly considered. The modest size and round shape of the canvas is intended to convey a sense of delicacy and restraint and to give the painting a jewel like, intimate quality.
