"My intention is to reveal on canvas the serene beauty and energy inherent in all things. Spirit provides an inexhaustible supply of infinitely variable forms. My "Spiritual paintings" are a thin slice of time and space as I experience it, explored through spiritual energy released. These paintings are created whilst listening to classical music. In these works I allow colour, scale, ideas - energy to settle gradually as the painting developes almost independently. The less interference from me, the happier I am with the result usually. I just let the energy flow, I let go. Hopefully my work speaks to the heart, to you - the observer, in subtle communication: It is the "Energy" I perceive whilst standing almost spellbound infront of so many magnificent paintings, of great masters. It's as if certain paintings have life of their own. If upon looking at one of my paintings somone senses some kind of energy that attracts them and holds their gaze, then the underlying joy and excitement I experienced whilst working on it has reached out and been shared. May the energy reach out and touch your soul through the eyes." Thank you for visiting my site. Artist's Bio:- ........
"Initially, Spanish culture was the greatest influence, more recently France and Italy: European culture in general, has profoundly influenced my artwork, as have other cultures, Eastern, Oriental, Asian, because of my “spiritual” interests, because of Buddhism. But the greatest influence by far in my artwork has been a direct and simple result of quenching my thirst for visiting and seeing with my own eyes, Great Masters’ works, master pieces by those artists I admire above all. Visiting major Art Galleries, or an exhibition I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time........time and time again. My holidays were often visiting some Capital City or other, and first on the list of "must do's" was the Art Gallery. If unable to see the works with my own eyes of any great artist, then I devoured the photographs, bought volumes of Fine Art literature, anything I could buy on their work, reading about their lives, and how they lived, how they met and influenced each other, .... all absolutely fascinates me enormously. But to see their works, with my own eyes.... I am particularly influenced by, and enamoured of, the impressionists. I have spent hours and hours, gone back many times to one room, one painting, and stood for a long time - feeling its magnetism, how it seems to have a life of its own . The list of favourite artists is very long, and difficult to put in order of 'greatest influence', but the impressionists are my favourites: The following are all first in the list. Monet, Renoir, Matisse, Van Gogh, DeGas, Chagall, Picasso, Turner, Redon, Gaugin, Cezanne, Pissaro, Klimt, Modigliani, Singer Sargeant; others including Michael Angelo, Leonardo.Of the Spanish painters after Picasso, my favourite is Sorolla. Another very important influence in my life as an artist was meeting and getting to know a Spanish local painter, Vicent Calbet. In Abstract he would definitely be who I would try to emulate. Two other more recent influences were Pascual de Cabo, who I met towards the end of the 1990's: An amazing artist, and I am so delighted to be able to paint at his Art studio in Palma De Mallorca, where I work regularly with other artists and am priviledged to be able to be helped and advised by Rachid Hanbali, Pascual's Art teacher at the school.
Lastly, a surrealist artist I met recently encouraged me enormously, when he saw my work and I will be forever grateful for that.
Dramatic events that have influenced my art? My father, Buddhism, Spiritualism:
One extremely important creative influence or rather component, whilst actually in the creative process, is Music, largely classical. I tend to go into a trance like state, completely let go, allowing the music to wash over me: the energy it creates or rather what I "hear" the composer conveys is what then guides me somehow: I paint in this altered state quite often. It usually produces a more abstract painting, however I also paint my landscapes entranced by classical music: Mozart is probably my favourite, Vivaldi's Four Seasons, even Opera - I love listening to Maria Callas's Arias. Other times I will meditate to a Mantra recording or listen to music composed for Meditation and then go into a painting in that peaceful state.
This powerful omnipresent Musical influence is linked very strongly to my spiritual "awakening": It was whilst listening to Mozart one evening which led me as if by magic to pick up the paint brush for the first time since the age of 16, (if we don't count 3 watercolours whilst convalescing in January 1990): I was in the middle of packing my case to go to the Arthur Findlay College in Stansted, London. The music released a cretivity that was just about ready to explode, and I was already mentally preparing myself for my first spirtual retreat; over the last almost 3 years therefore I have come to realise that Art presents itself to me as a form of expressing an awareness of energy, and it is a form of therapy, a healing, which can be passed on to another person (Feng Shui, Trance Healing Art, Psychic art - all courses I have done at the Colege in Stansted since August 2006) So yes, the major dramatic event which influenced me -> my spiritual retreat. It was in October of last year, 2008 that I finally decided to give up work, downsize my home thereby reducing almost to zero any mortgage, and therefore by teaching privately again, I would have total flexibility and financial freedom to be able to paint. That change has been further exacerbated by a change of address more recently. In January this year I began uprooting in Ibiza, and have almost settled now in Palma De Mallorca I am very happy painting every day, all day if I can. I sometimes wonder what I did with my time upuntil now! Lizzy
