SG-Art…full Painting

Welcome to SG-Art…Full Painting, my creative corner, where I share the paintings and artworks I create in my leisure time. Art is not just a hobby for me; it’s a journey of continuous learning and self-expression. My goal is to complete at least one painting or artwork each year, each piece an opportunity to explore new techniques, push my artistic boundaries, and tackle fresh challenges.

Creating art is a process that requires time, patience, and the right conditions. I typically dedicate my weekends and summer evenings to painting, taking advantage of moments when the weather and lighting are just right. I have a particular fondness for working on larger canvases and boards, as I enjoy the expansive space they provide to bring my ideas to life.

I hope you find something here that resonates with you. Your thoughts and suggestions are always welcome—please don’t hesitate to reach out with any feedback or ideas. Your input is invaluable as I continue to grow as an artist. Enjoy the art, and thank you for visiting!

Series - Close up figures

Intimate, cropped studies of living forms focus on texture, light, and surface to evoke presence instead of telling a story. Close-up compositions reveal tactile details and quiet moods, inviting slow attention and mindful observation.

Series - the Swimmers

The Swimmers series dives into the quiet, rhythmic world of aquatic life, blending intimate character studies with the meditative pace of laps and tides. Each installment explores themes of endurance, companionship, and the small rituals that bring clarity to everyday life. Immerse yourself in a calming current of storytelling that celebrates resilience and gentle transformation.

Series - Lavender Fields

The Lavender Fields series captures the serene beauty of endless purple blooms, where light and shadow dance across gentle hills. Each piece evokes calm, nostalgia, and the quiet magic of nature in full bloom. It’s a celebration of stillness, scent, and the fleeting poetry of a summer landscape.

Locked down

2020

Oil painting on stretched canvas 180 x 120cm

Locked down is a painting inspired from a photo.  It represents a woman standing behind a large glass window, her elbow resting on the window frame.  Although the woman’s glance faces outwards, she appears to be lost in her thoughts, almost daydreaming.  She may be confined indoors and wishes to be outside, or maybe is simply bored.

The window reflects a sea landscape.  The shore and sea seem to be far out.  It appears to be grey and cold outside, which contrasts with the warmth and darkness of the inside.

Only 4 colours were used for the painting: Buff titanium, yellow ochre, raw amber and blue grey, which combines cold and warm colours.

It took 5 months to do the painting.
