Like my other recent works, they are all loosely representational with many visible brushstrokes. I usually start with representational images but from a certain point, I ignore the original picture and paint from my imagination. The process is very fluid and organic. Thus the outcome becomes quite different from the initial image. The objects get fragmented and the lines between objects become blurred. As a result, the paintings become the combination of my inner landscape and the outer landscape. You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.
