I am heavily influenced by Jackson Pollock, Joan Mitchell and Trevor Bell. In between commissions I paint for the site, photograph as many as time will allow and upload them for you to view or buy as originals and prints. I don’t have any formal art training, and I’ve never studied technique or composition from anyone. Whatever comes out onto the canvas comes straight from my imagination. I’m fascinated by form, shape and colour. Modern art takes a leap forward right here.

I create one-off original paintings; lovingly crafted, exquisitely detailed and filled with an honesty and passion rarely seen in today’s sterile marketplace. Originals are never replicated. What you see is exactly what you get.

I am of the strong opinion that ninety percent of the art websites you visit in your quest to find that great piece of art will be selling unimaginative, dreary commercial crap – and asking stupid money for them too.

Take a moment to read an explanation or two on some of my paintings. I don’t use flowery words or go into some philosophical whimsy – I just explain what’s going on, why I painted it and what you can get from looking at it. I like it when someone takes the time to explain what’s going on with things. I’ve tried to make buying art an enjoyable and hassle free experience. I love what I do and I hope that you’ll get a feel for that as you look at some of my work. I don’t care for rules and conformity; instead I just do what I want to do. Freedom is a very precious thing.

I’m a Gloucestershire (UK) based artist selling all over the UK and internationally. I hand deliver most of my work (UK) which is free*. It’s great to meet the people who engage with my art.

I only use the finest art materials and every process from inception to hanging is done by me and me alone; so when you buy into my art you get the whole experience, not some polished corporate moron worrying about his commission. Get the real deal with your art, get a Swarez original

I would hate to get pigeon holed into one particular style or allow myself to fall victim to market forces; I just can’t grasp the concept of having to paint for mass market appeal. My love of colour is evident in all my pieces,  as is the ability to create and control shapes and forms into spectacular finished pieces. You want something that celebrates your individuality? Great – drop me a mail and let’s celebrate that together!

Be bold, be brave and let your heart run free.
Don’t stop to think about your soft furnishings, just let the painting wash over you.

Go on – buy one then re-decorate around it if you have to. There will come a day when your wise purchase will yield a value far in excess of its future financial potential. I am not deep, tempestuous or filled with angst, I just love to paint, plain and simple. Thanks for stopping by.
