"Addiction" is a compelling exploration of the allure and danger inherent in the various vices that weave their way into the fabric of human existence. At the heart of the composition lies a striking depiction of everyday indulgences: a croissant, a cup of coffee, a cigarette, and a spoon. Rendered with meticulous detail, these symbols of temptation serve as focal points amidst a swirling tapestry of abstract forms and colors. Utilizing a dynamic mix of acrylics, charcoal, and oil pastels, the artist captures the chaotic energy of addiction, where desire and compulsion intertwine in a delicate dance. Bold strokes and subtle textures evoke the tumultuous journey of succumbing to temptation, as the boundaries between pleasure and peril blur into a haze of uncertainty. Embedded within the intricate layers of the artwork, subtle hints of embroidery add an additional dimension of symbolism, representing the tangled web of cravings and dependencies that ensnare the human spirit. Each stitch serves as a reminder of the complex interplay between choice and consequence, as individuals navigate the labyrinthine pathways of their desires. "Addiction" is a poignant reminder of the seductive power of vice and the insidious nature of dependency. Through its playful yet profound imagery, the artwork invites viewers to confront the hidden depths of their own desires and the transformative journey of self-awareness. It serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of temptation, urging us to seek balance and moderation in our pursuit of fulfillment.

What inspires me ? The mind-blowing complexity of human emotions and wildlife. Self-taught Anglo-French abstract artist, based in Ireland and the UK. My goal is to raise awareness about the beauty of the world and the finite aspect of life, by integrating fragments of dreams and elements of fauna & flora across my portfolio, combined with bold geometric shapes. I use colour psychology to find the right assemblage of colours to sooth and satisfy minds. Most of my available pieces are shown in my website portfolio, commissions only available for special events.
