A face from another world. A presence that seems to look right back at you.

Some paintings are planned. Others seem to arrive of their own accord.

Moon Face is an original abstract oil painting of a mysterious, otherworldly face emerging from layers of rich blues, luminous yellows and expressive colour. Its wistful gaze seems to follow you, quietly inviting you into a conversation without words.

When I painted Moon Face, I had no preconceived idea of where the painting would lead. The face gradually revealed itself through the process of painting, as though it had been waiting to emerge. I simply followed, allowing colour, form and intuition to guide me.

My abstract paintings explore the world beyond what we can see with our physical eyes. Inspired by mythology, animism and the belief that everything in our world is alive, I am fascinated by the mysterious space between the real and the imaginal.

Moon Face inhabits that space. There is something deeply human in its expression, yet something mythical and unknowable too. Depending on your mood and the changing light, its character seems to shift. Is it melancholy, watchful, wise or simply curious?

This is a painting that invites you to look again, and to discover something new each time.

More than a decoration, Moon Face brings a presence into a room.
