More about this Artwork

“Back To The Future III - 1754-2024” is the third piece in my collection “Back To The Future”. Like its predecessors, this painting was created with the intention to be a visualisation of the passage of time through the life rings of trees. I enjoy working on various sizes, from large to small and viceversa and this artwork was created on a 31x31cm sheet of paper with my favourite brushes for this type of work. As I begin by contouring the bold, dark edge, I imagine I am setting this imaginary timeline, where this edge is the past and this is where my line work will begin. Like walking across the room, this journey will be a walk through time: from the past towards the future, which coincides at the very core with the present moment. As I mentioned before this is the reason I named this collection, Back To The Future: an imaginary travel through time, journeying through the years of the past, tracing each ring, each line, each stroke with great attention, lost in the space that resides beyond the world that surrounds us. The works in this collection are a reflection of the self, a representation of the passage of time, a record of our lives and our story.

This piece specifically counts 270 years and that drives us back to the year 1754. We cannot experience actual time traveling, but in a world of artistry, we continually do so through cinema, music, theatre, poetry, literature. Art is traveling. In this painting I journeyed through 270 years. How thrilling is that?

Back To the Future III – 1754-2024

Intricate & One of A Kind Art

Intuitive, Yet Intentional

I step into my artworks and leave the rest of the world behind. I enjoy a process that is meditative and intuitive, where the art comes to me spontaneously, naturally and it translates organically into shapes and compositions. Whether by the use of lines, shapes or dots, my art is a an act of surrender, of abandonment of oneself to the soothing and self-annihilating power of infinite repetition. It is an harmonious and balanced dance between the art of letting go and the intentionality of discipline, commitment and pure devotion to serve the gift that is my art.

One of A Kind & Original

My art has always revolved around the process and the ability to create something remarkable with tools such as ink, pens and brushes on museum-grade paper. It is the challenge of working with simple materials to achieve mastery one of the many driving factors in my art practice. Simplicity through complexity and intricacy. Clarity through organised chaos. Every artwork, whilst connected to the previous and the next, similar in nature and yet different, is unique. It is irreplicable: a distinctive and special journey that flourishes from a never-ending source of love.

Professionally Framed

Have you ever stood in front of an artwork and all you could see was your reflection? I have. Though it may seem a rather silly component, the glass that sits between your eye and the artwork it protects, is crucially important and it is why I choose to frame all my art with museum, non-reflective glass (with 70% UV protection) that looks as if it were not there at all. Alongside fully archival framing materials, non-reflective glass is my choice, so that my collectors can see, appreciate and delight in all of the minute details, textures and 'colours' in my art, exactly the way I intended.
