Amazilia is delighted to be featured in the new edition (No 19) of the Circle Foundation for the Art's Spotlight Magazine. The image chosen is one shot last September immediately post-dawn with the wonderful fine art nude model Scarlot Rose in England's Peak District. The contrast between the ancient cracked and textured monolith and Scarlot's smooth, pale skin and her lithe sculptured body is the essence of this image. The Magazine can be found at https://circle-arts.com/spotlight-19/ Amazilia is on Page 8.
Oil on paper. Original sold. When I was a young boy I danced like a madman following the tune of an old vinyl of my parents, "Point Me at the Sky" by Pink Floyd. I didn‘t understand the lyrics, I didn’t know that the song was about a pilot that crashes for a fault on his plane. I figured it was an exhortation to take the flight. In the bright contrast of the hot summer afternoons, I saw the black silhouettes of birds flying against the backdrop of a clear sky. I saw the leaves of the plants filtering the sunlight, and revealing the consistency of their veins and in some cases the shadow of a small frog, motionless, resting on them. To the tune of that song, watching some fish caught in a basin of zinc, I imagined them free and strong in their river, darting happily in the glow of the August sun.
As an artist in my heart and mind for over thirty five years, I have achieved much through persistence, hard work,following online courses for professional development and building an audience. A full-time satisfying occupation, being dedicated to my brand and signature work. I continue to grow and make the best art I can produce, they are becoming bigger pieces which take more time but have stunning results.
