Pollen and Starlight, oil on canvas, 120 x 120 x 3 cm
Pollen and Starlight captures the raw energy of growth, balanced with moments of softness and light. I painted the flowers using fluid, sweeping movements, allowing them to feel alive and gently in motion, as if they are lifting and turning in a warm summer breeze. There is an airy, light filled quality to the blooms that brings a sense of openness and optimism to the piece. The story lives in the details. The splashes and markings were applied with physical intent, layering vibrant colour across the surface to create texture and depth. These raised ridges of paint are the quiet heartbeat of the work. For me, they symbolise the invisible magic of the garden, the way tiny, life giving elements carry warmth, light and possibility from one season into the next. When this painting hangs in your home, I want it to feel like hope. A joyful meeting of softness and energy. It is a piece designed to lift a space, bringing colour, movement and a sense of wonder to your world.
