Hello,
Trained as a photographer I have been working as an artist for over ten years and my work has been collected around the world.
Born in England I have lived in many places but am now settled in Tavira, Portugal where the sea and landscape are major inspirations for my abstract paintings. Misplaced memories from Africa and beyond are never far away to aid my colourful and visceral approach.
Paintings either on canvas, wooden panel or paper may sometimes have an apparent realism created by an unexpected metaphor for the final abstract image. Often applying many layers of paint, then scratched or scraped off, the painting is an evolution of creativity and design that grows and changes to produce the finished work.
I welcome commissions and to enquire about any of the paintings please email abs@agamagp.com or use the contact page.
