Portraits & Figures

The oil portraits are just as representational as my other works occasionally using symbolism and iconic trinkets to enhance the knowledge of the sitter., Most of my portraits are placed on textural surfaces and the use of bold colours and stylised imagery is quite evident.

The oil sketches are softer with the light moulding of oil paint on stark paper giving a more delicate, fresh imagery. Wallpaper is frequently used in my work “I like the 2 dimensional flatness of the wallpaper against the 3 dimensional figure”.
