PAINTING THE CHARACTER OF ITALY
Italian interiors, villages and architecture, interpreted through the eyes of an architect and artist.
FROM ARCHITECTURE TO PAINTING
With a background in architecture, I've always been fascinated by the relationship between buildings, people and place.
Painting has given me another way of exploring that relationship — particularly in Italy, where villages, interiors, architecture and the traces of everyday life continue to inspire me.
I'm drawn to places that feel authentic rather than perfect, and to paintings that capture not only how a place looks, but something of how it feels.
PAINTING OF THE WEEK
Looking across a courtyard fence, a young boy stands on the balcony of an old Italian villa, gazing out over the garden below.
It is a quiet, everyday moment that captures something of the charm and timeless character of village life in Italy. The architecture, the garden and the presence of the young boy combine to create a glimpse into a world where life seems to move at a gentler pace.
I was drawn to the atmosphere of this scene and the story it suggests — an ordinary moment that makes a place feel special.
