Impressions from Afar
A series of impressionistic oil paintings inspired by my travels
This series draws its inspiration from travels across Europe, with a dash of intuition, memory and imagination thrown in.
Deeply influenced by Whistler's belief that a painting should not function as a mere record of reality, my intention is to evoke the atmosphere of a place and the emotional feeling of a fleeting moment after the details have faded.
These works seek to capture impressions; they are invitations to linger in an experience. They evoke the spirit of a place through suggestion, leaving space for the viewer's own imagination and interpretation.
They are a whisper - a poetic echo of a place once encountered
