My inspiration

 

Double-deckers and black cabs of London, red trams and terracotta roofs of Prague, white cobbles and yellow trams of Lisbon, majestic domes and pillars of Rome, Paris bikes and cafés, canals of Venice – undoubtedly cliché, but that’s where my mind travels when I pick up a brush! 

​

City walks with my camera, rain or shine, day or night, are where I find my inspiration. Through the lens, I capture fleeting compositions, the shifting moods of a scene as light and seasons transform it. I am mesmerised by rain spilling pools of colour onto pavements, by snow silently sugar-coating the world. Long shadows stretching across the ground in the afternoon sun, morning fog softening edges and muting colours—these moments compel me to paint.

​

I’ve found a new muse in the animal world—an exciting and unexpected shift for me. I love the fresh energy it’s brought to my work. After juggling so many details and intricate layers in my cityscapes, focusing on a single subject feels freeing. It’s let me paint more spontaneously—and as a bonus, much faster too!

​

Artistically, I am still miles away from where I want to be, but I am enjoying the journey and the challenges it brings. With every painting, I move a little closer, finding joy in each step along the way.​
