'Die Welt'

This painting, 'The World' can be hung either vertically or horizontally. An interesting feature of this painting is the similitude of a face you may be able to see in the painting. This occurred purely through chance, as it wasn’t intended when I picked up my brushes to create this piece.

My inspiration for this painting was born when, one day in Naples, I took a photo by the side of the road of a bollard with a spherical top and the reflection within. I fell in love with the stunning pattern, and combined with the modern look of the sphere, it struck a chord within me and a spark to create this painting.

As I started this painting I let my instinct take the lead as my brushes stroked the canvas, rather than using my photo as a reference of precision. Using oils rather than my usual medium of Acrylics, I felt at one with the oils and loved the way they seamlessly blend and move on the canvas in comparison with acrylics. Copper leaf used for the surrounding enriches it with a new dimension, bringing something extraordinary and fascinating for you to enjoy.
