I’m Roy, and I’m thrilled to share with you a glimpse into my world of modern and contemporary art.
Art, for me, is about creating connections and evoking emotions, and I believe that every piece I create has a story to tell, a story that resonates with many.
What I love most about art is its universal language. You don’t need any special education to appreciate it – just an open mind and a bit of imagination, something I know you have. My art isn’t just a visual treat; it’s an experience, an invitation to see the world through a different lens.
My journey in art has taken me through the vibrant landscapes of nature and technology, the tangible and the spiritual, and the rich tapestry of European and Eastern cultures. My pieces are more than just art; they’re a blend of the real and the surreal, creating a playground of visual wonders that invite you to explore and interpret.
Imagine a festival where O’Keeffe’s flowers dance with Dali’s clocks, where Kandinsky’s shapes mingle with Disney’s fantasies. That’s the kind of eclectic celebration you’ll find in my collection. It’s a fusion of reality and imagination, designed to captivate and intrigue.
My art aims to be accessible yet profound, offering a glimpse into a world where every brushstroke tells a story and every color sings a song.
I honed my skills with a Master of Arts in Fine Arts from the University of Canterbury in 1994, followed by a Doctor of Arts in 1997. My journey in art is also chronicled in my publication, “Persistence of Vision.”
Your interest in my work means the world to me. I hope you find something in my art that speaks to you, that stirs something within. Have a wonderful day, and remember, art is not just seen, it’s felt.
