Layered color fields, warm/cool shifts and transparent passages that let light appear to sit inside the painting.

01 - Paintings in motion
Follow the
current.
CanvasCurrent treats painting as a moving surface: pigment drifts, marks collide, light changes the reading, and every finished work keeps a trace of the decisions that made it.
01 / About the practice
Color carries
the story.
My paintings begin with close observation and develop through layers of transparent wash, scraped pigment, dry-brush texture and unexpected color interruptions. I am interested in the point where a recognizable place becomes an emotional landscape.

02 / Studio vocabulary
Four ways
the surface speaks.
The studio practice moves between atmospheric color, physical mark-making and quiet edits. Each body of work has its own visual weather.
Physical mark
Broad brush movement, dragged pigment and decisive interruptions that keep the hand visible.
Selective erasure
Sanding, scraping and overpainting reduce the image until only the essential visual tension remains.
Place as feeling
Landscapes are used as starting points rather than destinations, memory and sensation complete the image.
03 / Selected works
Recent
surfaces.
A small selection from ongoing landscape, abstraction and mixed-observation series.
04 / Working process
From first mark
to final light.
Observe before deciding.
Reference images, sketches, color notes and remembered sensations establish the emotional direction without locking the composition.
Let the surface move.
Large passages arrive first. Layers are allowed to collide, dry, soften and reveal earlier decisions beneath them.
Keep only what matters.
Scraping and overpainting remove visual noise until the remaining marks carry the weight of the work.
05 / Studio enquiry
Bring a little
color into it.
For commissions, exhibition conversations, interior artwork, collaborations or studio visits, send a note with the context and scale of the project.
