My Story

_MCC2194.jpg

Hello,

 

Thanks for visiting my website. Here's a brief history of how my artwork developed.

 

My creative journey began long before I became a full time artist. For more than 30 years I worked as an interior design consultant, collaborating on projects in Europe, the USA, China, the middle east & of course, the UK. During that time I was involved in the creation & transformation of private residences, offices, retail spaces, bars, holiday homes, restaurants & night club venues – experiences that continue to influence my work today.

 

Alongside my design career, I continuously explored my passion for art. Many of the principles that shape my work in design – geometry, special harmony, lighting, colour dynamics, structure and form are drawn from those disciplines. I describe myself as a 'Re-imaginer', transforming these influences into contemporary artworks.

My work is strongly influenced by my admiration for Bridget Riley and her pioneering approach to movement, perception, and visual rhythm.

 

During Covid lockdown period, I found more time to develop my artwork. The response was encouraging, leading me to take the plunge & become a full time artist.

 

My work continues to evolve through new ideas, techniques and materials. If you would like to keep updated, please send me your details on the contact page.

 

Thank you for your interest in my work and I hope you enjoy the collection.

 

Michael.
