My main interest is to learn the techniques of the old masters in figurative art and use it to create works for a contemporary audience. I use a variety of mediums to express myself and experiment including oil, pastel, charcoal and pencil.

​

My background is in Artificial Intelligence and the corporate training industry. Though I have carried out a series of digital arts projects over the years, it wasn’t until I attended a life drawing session that I discovered a whole new world. I realised that drawing a face is extremely challenging. The more time I spent on figurative art, the more I appreciated the complexity. I have now a lot more respect for what the old masters have managed to achieve.

​

I have studied at LARA (London Atelier of Representational Art) and learned greatly about drawing and painting. The challenge of capturing a figure along with good design and composition has made the task extremely attractive to me. I focus on all aspects of creating a quality work including craftsmanship, expression of light and form, realism, design and aesthetics. 

​

As a training specialist, I teach people how to deliver training courses. I am also deeply fascinated with what it takes to learn how to draw well, or how it can be taught. The classical atelier method of teaching is quite powerful for this and can inspire us on how to train people on other topics too. ​I regularly write about training methodology, have written a number of books in this area, and run courses about it.

I love designing. Sometimes, it feels it is the only thing that matters in life. Drop me a line, tell me what you think of my work. I cannot wait to make more. And I cannot wait to see what you think of it.
