Fire and Ice Series

Artist's Statement

​

Using a limited palette of only 7 colours (including black and white) I chose to explore the diversity one can achieve with a colour palette. Exploring also with texture and intense layering, these paintings truly cannot be appreciated in full on a screen.

As someone who has traditionally worked with a broad and intensely vibrant colour palette, this series began as a challenge. My fear that each piece would end up looking the same quickly evaporated as the beauty of the medium, and the diversity within limitations became evident.
