Whale expression prints

 expression 1, power  expression 2, beauty
 expression 3, energy  expression 4, individuality

(mono-prints)

These are details of a series of mono-prints which are meant to be a visual expression of the power, beauty, energy and individuality of the great cetaceans of the sea. I was fascinated by whales and dolphins for a long time and experimented in a variety of ways to express my own emotional interpretation of these incredible animals.

(Note: a mono-print is an image composed on an acetate sheet and then impressed onto a single sheet of paper.)

(mono-print) (oil on board)

The bond between any mother and child is strong, but with the humpback whales, it seems to carry an even deeper spiritual quality. The mono-print attempts to capture the fragility of their world, while the painting uses a far more 'realistic' approach, aiming to depict the way most of us usually see these animals.

oceans colours

      

  the magical colours of the oceans

 

(oil on canvas)

How many colours are there in the oceans we cannot possibly be aware of? How can we ever imagine what it is like to be another creature, to live its life, to think its thoughts, to share its feelings. Everything is conjecture, hypothesis, and our own individual interpretation.
