Artwork Description

This artwork presents a vibrant, geometrically compelling composition featuring a red façade divided by stark white trims. Three windows allow glimpses into reflections that show a distorted reality. Each window showcases fragmented images of the structural elements of opposing buildings typical of this historic Danish city. The shadow diagonally slicing across adds dramatic contrast, emphasising the division between light and shade. The lower edge features a subtle hint of blue, of sunlit snow that adds to this outdoor scene's dynamism.

Artist Bio

I loved to draw and paint from a very early age. I was fascinated by the capability of artists to bring to life the world around them; to represent form, light and shade; to create three dimensions within two.

Simultaneously I was drawn to photography. From my earliest self-processed black and white prints to the sophistication of modern digital manipulation, I have always taken pictures.

In my professional life I established and ran successful creative businesses in London, Luxembourg, Malaga, Berlin and Sydney. I held senior roles in prominent design practices and advertising agencies, including the creative directorship of Europe's first online service.

More recently I taught design at universities and design schools in Sydney, Australia and Southern Spain with particular focus upon sustainable design thinking, human-centred design and developing successful design practice.

I began my career as a junior illustrator in London. It's therefore appropriate that with more time on my hands these days I should return to my first love.
