Abstract act is an extremely creative art form that comes to life in the eyes of the audience.

"Art comes alive in the eyes of the viewer".

I am an artist based in Brisbane, Australia working primarily in acrylic. As a self-taught artist I enjoy challenging myself and experimenting with different ideas and subject matters exploring the boundless possibilities of this versatile medium. I grew up in a creative family around the visual and written arts and although I principally worked in the information technology and scientific fields, I have experimented with a range of creative activities including sculpting, clay hand building, and glass fusing, before moving into watercolour abstract landscapes, and now abstracts in acrylic.

My preferred art style is abstract and expressionist, and my influences are mostly from the stunning abstract and expressionist works of the mid-20th century. I enjoy experimenting with colours, shapes, patterns, brushstrokes and marks. My approach is generally to reimagine the world around me and try to capture this on canvas. These re-imaginings can be inspired by objects, locations, nature and sometimes just ideas and concepts. Whilst I do sometimes create several paintings in similar styles, I generally feel the need to constantly evolve and not restrict my creativity to any one particular style. My art journey is all about embracing creativity, change, and new and exciting challenges. My mind is overflowing with ideas and the need to explore different works and push my boundaries.

All artworks can be removed from stretcher bars, rolled and shipped in a tube.  This is a lot safer and cheaper.  You will need to have it re-stretched however this usually costs less then the international shipping costs.   Send a message through ArtMajeur via the Message link at the bottom of my Profile/Bio page.

I hope you enjoy my art as much as I enjoy creating it :-)
