I have been painting a collection of landscapes and also pieces which display the transmogrification of frail emotions from within onto canvas. Elemental means related to or embodying the powers of nature. And the below are my personal renditions of nature and its energetic flow within the grand cosmos that embodies the mind, the physical self, the higher level of consciousness and our spiritual awareness in connection to the world around us and the changing patterns of it due to climate change and industrialisation.
Howdy folks, Its been a good few months since I posted last as I work at a computer for a good few hours of the day in my job as a publicist and writer, I tend to use my spare and designated painting time at the easel. Six months after my first solo show in Dublin’s Inspire Gallery and the feedback I received from the Habitat part of the exhibition was so strong in reactions from people and buyers that I decided to follow it more and create some landscapes in the same guise.
The below pieces are about sitting, walking, running and simply connecting with the present moment whilst experiencing the landscape around us, and feeling along with absorbing its energies. I have always been a spiritual being and have read countless books on various esoteric and spiritual rituals and beliefs ranging across a multitude of religions and practices. I will forever be hungry to discover more about the source of where we come from and were we are ultimately going towards. Life and Death being a catalyst here. Along with the practice of simply ‘being’ within a moment.
Heavily influenced by Kazimir Malevich I wanted to tap further into his notions that “A painted surface is a real, living form.” and “Man, as a form, bears within him the eternal principle of being, and by economic movement along his endless path his form is also transformed, just as everything that lives in nature was transformed in him.”
Suprematism and abstract expressionism are two forms I am really connecting with the last year or so. There are soft murmurs and echoes of it here.

During the manifestation and preparation for my first solo show earlier this year (2017), my paternal Grandfather and maternal Grandmother passed away. They did not go quietly, battling through illness and disease. It was a very poignant part of my life experiencing such harrowing pain on having to watch two paramount figures pass on. A certain calmness comes with grief, in waves or clouds that sometimes hang over us. The exhibition would not have happened where it not for these two people encouraging me to follow art. The sun shining through in two parts is of no coincidence in this painting.
