Birth - original abstract oil painting
A celebration of new beginnings, the awakening of consciousness and the mystery of creation.
Every birth marks a beginning. A new life, a new idea, a new way of understanding the world.
Birth is a large original abstract oil painting exploring the extraordinary moments when something new comes into being, when the familiar gives way to the unknown and our understanding of the world begins to change.
This painting was inspired by the philosopher Karl Jaspers and his concept of the Axial Age, a remarkable period in human history when profound philosophical and spiritual ideas emerged in different civilisations, laying the foundations for much of the way we think today.
I find this fascinating. How is it possible that people living in different parts of the world, often with little or no contact with one another, began asking similar questions about existence, morality and the meaning of life?
It is as though something was awakening in human consciousness.
My paintings often explore this mysterious space between the visible world and the imaginal, between what we know and what we sense but cannot fully explain.
In Birth, expressive colour, movement and layered forms create a dynamic composition that seems to be constantly unfolding. There is a sense of energy and transformation, of something emerging from the unknown and taking on a life of its own.
I work intuitively, allowing my paintings to develop through a dialogue between imagination, observation and the physical act of painting. I search for the moment when the individual elements come together and the painting begins to resonate as a living whole.
Birth is an invitation to contemplate the mystery of beginnings, whether the birth of a child, an idea, a spiritual awakening or an entirely new way of seeing.
A painting about possibility, transformation and the extraordinary creative force of life itself.
With its generous square format and expressive energy, this one-of-a-kind artwork creates a powerful presence in a room. It invites you to return to it again and again, discovering new relationships between colour, form and movement.
More than a decorative painting, Birth offers a space for reflection, imagination and wonder.
