This series of work was inspired by my love and excitement for Formula 1 and motor sports. I love the curves and shapes that the circuits make, the marks that the tyres create as they drift around the corners, and the variety of colours of the cars. I try to embody the principle of whatever is behind my inspiration. In this instance, the speed and finesse of a motor sports race informs the way in which I approached painting. If I can be so bold as to compare a race to my painting process - it requires a combination of trusting my instincts and also carefully calculating my next move and what the potential result of it will be. I hope the viewers feel a sense of flow, an appreciation for the twists and turns of life and are uplifted by the burst of colour in my paintings.
