Dumy

'Dumy' is a deep reflection on life and destiny, our fears, worries, and the constant search for answers. It is about the past we cannot fully let go of and the future we are sometimes afraid of. At the same time, the bright colours remind us that not everything unknown is dark, sometimes something vivid and beautiful is waiting for us beyond our fears ✨

The work is created in the traditional Ukrainian folk art style of Petrykivka painting using a plant stem( rohozynka) and a brush made from cat fur, without the use of ordinary brushes.

An 80s Idol

I was in my 20s in the 1980s. As a young man of the age it was a wonderful decade to be out and about in town. I was someone who bought the clothes of the era and would get my hair styled and coloured regularly. The reason I chose this subject was as a form of tribute to the age and my involvement in it.

'Safe Place'

'Safe Place' is a story about a home that is not always given from birth but can sometimes be created with your own hands.

As a child, there was a deep lack of safety and of a family where love exists without conditions, where people support and stay beside one another even in the darkest moments.

Over the years, it became clear that a true family is not only about blood ties, but about a space where a person is protected, heard, and accepted as they are.

That feeling was finally found within my own family ? quiet, warm, and real.

?Safe Place? is about the human need to have a place the heart always wants to return to.

The work was created using the technique of Petrykivka painting, a traditional Ukrainian decorative art form recognized by UNESCO. The painting was created using the traditional tools of old Petrykivka masters: a cat-hair brush and a 'rohozynka', a traditional tool made from a reed stem used for creating fine lines and decorative details.

Johnston Loch, Gartcosh

This painting was created from a time in life that forced me to slow down. After suffering a knee injury, I suddenly found myself unable to move through life at the crazy pace I was used to. In that stillness, I returned to painting, something I hadn't truly connected with for a long time and I rediscovered both comfort, peace and purpose in creativity.
The loch at the heart of our village has always been a place of reflection, calm, and connection for our community. Its changing skies, quiet waters, and familiar shoreline inspired this piece, but more importantly, so did the person it was created for. This painting was gifted to someone very special in our community, someone who loves our village deeply and continually goes above and beyond for the people within it.
The light breaking across the water reflects the warmth, kindness, and steady presence they bring to others. In many ways, this piece became more than a landscape; it became a portrait of community spirit, resilience, and gratitude. Through both injury and healing, painting this reminded me that even in life?s slower moments, beauty and inspiration can still find their way back to us.
