About this artwork

"Consume Me" is a vibrant and thought-provoking artwork that serves as a satirical commentary on the rampant over-consumerism pervasive in contemporary society. Through an abstract lens, the artist deftly portrays the insatiable appetite for excess, where individuals voraciously consume beyond necessity, driven by societal pressures and unchecked desire. Using a dynamic mix of acrylics, pastels, and chalk, the canvas bursts with a kaleidoscope of colors, mirroring the chaotic frenzy of consumer culture. Swirling forms and bold strokes evoke a sense of frenetic energy, symbolizing the relentless pursuit of material possessions and instant gratification. Amidst the riot of colors, subtle imagery emerges, hinting at the consequences of unchecked consumption. Perhaps a towering stack of empty boxes symbolizes the hollow fulfillment derived from endless acquisitions, or tangled masses of tangled wires represent the entrapment of consumerism's grasp on the individual psyche. "Consume Me" challenges viewers to reflect on their own relationship with consumption and the societal structures that perpetuate it. It serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need for introspection and moderation in the face of excess, urging us to reconsider our values and priorities in a world driven by consumption.

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.
