THE PILGRIMAGE
Seven panels, each 228.5 × 51 cm
Acrylic gel and acrylic on canvas
The Pilgrimage is an extraordinary seven-panel work, the largest created to date, commanding attention with its immense scale. It depicts a man and his family traversing endless dunes in rich reds and deep burgundies, with sandy strokes in the sky.
Despite its sweeping presence, the piece conveys intimacy and quiet reflection, capturing both a deeply personal journey and a universal passage. The solemn, immersive hues evoke profound emotion, making this work a testament to endurance, perseverance, and the human spirit.
ALL FOR LOVE
132 x 102 cm
Acrylic gel and acrylic on canvas
Inspired by the mesmerising surface of clay courts, this work explores rich colour and rough texture, created by mixing raw oxide pigments into thick paint. Two female tennis players emerge mid-match, caught in a moment of intensity and motion, dressed in bold, striking hues.
Titled 'All For Love', the piece nods to tennis scoring - where love means nothing - yet speaks to the dedication and devotion the game demands.
CARAVAN LIFE
180 x 120 cm
Acrylic gel and acrylic on canvas
Caravan Life follows six men and their camels as they traverse an endless series of sand dunes. The origins and destination of their journey remain unknown, yet their determination to cross the desert is unmistakable.
Despite the canvas borders, the composition evokes a sense of continuity, as if the dunes extend infinitely, with the caravan as the sole companion across the vast expanse. The saturated orange pigment intensifies the experience, creating a work that is at once mesmerising, powerful, and surprisingly calming - much like the desert itself.
MIRAGE
183 x 153 cm
Acrylic gel and acrylic on canvas
Mirage stands apart from earlier works through its scale and restraint. A single blue stroke is suspended within a vast, sandy surface, created by pushing bucketloads of paint across the canvas.
When viewed in person, the artwork envelops the viewer in the sensation of an endless desert. At its centre, a subtle illusion emerges - a pool of water and a woman enjoying the stillness of a hot afternoon sun, hovering between reality and imagination.
