One of the best ideas I get when I start a new artwork always starts with the word 'contradiction' 

The simple meaning of this word conjures up visuals in my head which soon gets to the canvas, being Photoshop.

​

Its like baking a cake! - not that I have ever baked a proper cake, but this a good analogy. Starting with a basic background, and then start to create layers after layers, from that start I will be thinking of contradictions within the layers but also the whole composition of the artwork must have all the ingredients until the last mix which is a drop of 'surrealness' - my made up word :)

​

Although I think that my artworks are better now than the PERCEPTION series I also think that the earlier artworks were more hard to understand. I would often start an artwork only to get through three quarters and delete the file because I was looking for perfection. As an artistic person, its kind of normal.

 

Fortunately I have found a different style and with FAITH-HOPE-LOVE everything is stream-less from start to finish, finally I have a personal style which I'm comfortable and happy.
