Enlightenment

My previous work ‘Leap of Faith’ explored the idea of the animals placing their trust in a messenger. With ‘Enlightenment’, I’ve taken things a step further.

Immerse yourself within Enlightenment.

A bee arrives amidst the darkness, protected in one of those bubbles I’ve grown so fond of… It brings a message of hope to all who see it. Today, it appears to a Dryad of the woods, along with her companions. All are entranced by the sight, but only the Dryad is brave enough to touch the visitor’s shell and receive its message. She knows it won’t burst; that it’s stronger than she knows.

Enlightenment will add a stunning accent to your space.

Within the world this ‘Carnival of Wonders’ is building, painting-by-painting, the humble Bee turns out to be more important than we know. In ‘Leap of Faith’, its presence leads the animals in a headlong rush to jump into space, protected only with the thought that the Bee will never lead them astray. Now, it’s offering ‘Enlightenment’. Whether profound or mundane, difficult or comforting, we seek answers to life’s questions all the time. With this painting, I’m saying that – sometimes – the answers we seek can be found right in front of us. And all we have to do? Listen…

Throughout my journey as an artist, I’ve tried various surfaces & colours… From acrylics on boxed canvas to the refined oils on board I now employ. Each combination wields a distinct influence over the final outcome. Canvas imbues a rustic charm, its weave adding texture. For intricate details, only oil on board suffices, offering subtle nuances and unmatched ability to blend.

Yet, my attention extends beyond the artwork itself; the frames for Original Artworks hold equal significance. Through experience, I’ve learnt how a well-selected frame can elevate a piece, sometimes even reshaping its interpretation. Every choice, from canvas to frame, is a deliberate step towards crafting not just art, but an experience.
