I love the sensuality of oil paint, its smell, texture, its contemplative slowness and capacity for spontaneity.
The paintings are inspired by the atmospheric colours and light of the landscapes around me and by the impulse of a subtle inner sensitivity.
They are feeling paintings. That of peace, liberty, spirit and calm and those deeper realms of the heart that take us through an inner journey of longing, surrender and love.
My paintings have been commissioned for the corporate collections of Dior and are held in private collections around the world.
I am from London, UK, and currently live by the ocean on the west coast of Portugal.
