당신은 왜 예술 작품을 만드나요?
Painting helps me share how a place feels, beyond just what it looks like. I’m drawn to fleeting light, changing weather, and the atmosphere of a moment. Watercolour gives me a beautiful way to express those things.

그림을 그리기 시작한 지 얼마나 되셨나요?
I’ve been painting for 9 years.

정식으로 미술 교육을 받으셨나요?
No, I’m self-taught. I’ve developed my practice through years of painting, experimenting, studying other artists, and teaching.

당신은 전업 예술가인가요, 아니면 취미로 예술 활동을 하는 사람인가요?
I’m a working artist. I paint, teach, and organize workshops and painting retreats.

당신은 누구 또는 무엇으로부터 영감을 얻나요?
Travel and nature inspire me most, especially the sea, dramatic skies, and places with a strong sense of history. I’m interested in how light and weather can transform a familiar scene.

그림을 그릴 때 어떤 음악을 들으세요?
You’ll probably be surprised, but mostly alternative and black metal. At the same time, I have a large vinyl collection of The Rolling Stones, Joy Division, The Cure, and similar bands.

멘토가 있으셨나요?
I haven’t had one formal mentor. I’ve learned from many artists whose work I admire, as well as from the conversations and experiences that come with teaching and painting alongside others. But the artists who have probably influenced me the most are Joseph Zbukvic, Eudes Correia, Andy Evansen, Julia Barminova, and Nicolas Lopez.

매일 그림을 그리시나요?
I’m involved with art every day, although running a studio and teaching mean I don’t always get to paint a finished piece each day.

한 번에 한 작품씩 그리시나요, 아니면 여러 작품을 동시에 작업하시나요?
Typically one in 30-40 minutes

컨셉 이미지를 먼저 제작하시나요?
Usually, I begin with a photo and idea for the light and atmosphere I want to capture. I leave room for the painting to develop as the watercolour moves on the paper.

스튜디오에서 그림 그리는 것을 선호하시나요, 아니면 야외에서 그리는 것을 선호하시나요?
I love both. Plein air painting lets me respond directly to a place, while the studio gives me more time to develop an idea.

핵심 색상은 몇 가지나 사용하시나요?
I usually work from a palette of around 5-6 core colours, then add a few colours depending on the subject and mood.

튜브형, 프라이팬형, 아니면 막대형?
Mostly tubes. I enjoy preparing my own palette and having enough paint ready for generous washes.

마스킹액을 사용하시나요?
Never

작품이 완성되었다는 것을 언제 알 수 있나요?
When I’m thinking “I probably need to stop” For me better less than more
