I've been painting since 1985. Not as a hobby. Not as a side practice. As the foundational discipline through which I understand transformation, geometry, and the relationship between chaos and order. These paintings are not quick. Some have evolved over twenty years. New layers, new understandings, new depths emerging as my vision clarifies. A painting might sit for five years before I see what it needs next. The history is buried in the paint - entire compositions hidden beneath the surface you see now. Each painting has its own handcrafted frame. The frame is part of the work, not an afterthought. This is the opposite of what can be generated in seconds by algorithms. This is accumulation. Patience. Time made visible. Soul made tangible. Great-great-grandson of Sir Alfred Gilbert RA - sculptor of Eros, Royal Academician, pioneer of lost-wax casting in Britain. He worked across multiple mediums because vision demanded it. Painting, sculpture, metalwork, medals. The impulse was the same: transform materials until they reveal what's hidden. I inherited that restlessness. That refusal to be contained by a single medium. But painting remains my foundation. The canvas is where I work out ideas that later appear in my light installations, my industrial sculpture, my understanding of rotation and sacred geometry.
