Exploring innovation, craft, and creativity. The new painting, with be the follow-up to ‘Night Wishes’ which was produced between 2021 and 2022. A continuation of the idea to fully articulate an iconic mother nature image that represents humanity and the natural world under assault in 2025. Mother nature creatively rendered as a personified female, adrift on a life raft, on a rising ocean. Mother nature as a classically painted female represented by combining human features as well as animal and organic characteristics and textures. The intention is to paint a contemporary social and environmental commentary pertaining to our planet in the year of 2025. ‘Mother nature needs a life raft’ and ‘mother nature on the run in 2025’ in a world awash with the fallout from climate change. It will be conceptually and aesthetically driven, combining a number of contrasting elements, to illustrate polarity and division.
