Kushki

I began painting a series of work entitled ‘Kushki’ My own representation of the human condition. This project is a culmination of life experiences and a reflection of society at large.

Art is a medium which generates huge interest, demand and potential and attraction for wealth for those who are fortunate to ‘dip their toe’ in the world.

Art became a huge outlet, which helped me to overcome challenging and dark days of my own life; during this realisation I learnt that art could be more than a visual treat.
Art can change people’s lives

The art world is one that has boundaries and has a defining line, work, which challenges our problems such as racism and poverty, seemed to be left behind.

Kushki highlights that many of those in society are left behind are blank figures in a colourful world.

A canvas can mirror life in many ways

You start of blank, nothing there, as time goes by you fill in the gaps.
.
But when you paint, what is your favourite colour, what do you want on your canvas are you bold enough to express your feelings or just appeal to the masses

Art is a powerful and unique medium which has potential to touch other lives in so many ways, When I paint I paint from the heart, not to appeal to you or them

When you pick up you next brush what will you paint, how will you feel.

Think Kushki and make a difference

 

a short bio about me....

I am 36 years old, born in London. I am a totally self taught and self developed artist. I have very few artists that inspire me or that I particulary like. I however have been a keen follower of the work and mindset of Salvador Dali and Hunter s.Thompson.

The work I produce is my reflection of the human condition, I like to produce work that is totally unique, work that cannot be compared with any other artist.
I have a vision of changing the face of Art with my 'Birth of Art' Concept. by allowing art to be something more than a visual treat.
