Loose fragmented colour patches in blue white and pink on a pale ground. Mosaic-like but free. The fragments scatter across figure and background alike.
Portrait of nude subject, making eye contact, in which arms play a vital role, body canted, cropped at the waist, rendered in loose mosaic fragments of blue, white, and pink on a pale ground
Warm grey with bold swirling painterly forms in the background. The figure feels modelled rather than painted. Sculptural and considered.

Soft mauve and dusty pink with large rounded stone forms filling the background. The figure is warm-toned against a cool muted surround. The background generates a gentle grotto of pale organic shapes.

Cool grey crosshatch and gestural marks fill the background with organic forms emerging from the surface. The figure is sketched rather than rendered with loose confident line. Immediate and alive with a life-drawing energy.

Pale ground with a dense blue-grey pattern of text-like or script-like marks filling the background. The figure is rendered in warm flesh tones over the inscribed surface. Distinctive and layered with an archaeological quality.

Warm flesh and pale blue with tiled repeated copies of the figure filling the background in an ordered grid. The central figure stands before a wall of its own reflections. Distinctive and slightly disorienting with a pop multiplicity.

Warm peach gold and dusty mauve fragments spiral behind a coherent figure. Background generates strong rotational energy — almost kaleidoscopic. Figure holds while the surroundings dissolve into motion. Energetic and flattering to warm sources.

Dark charcoal and deep purple flank large pale glowing rock or ice forms behind the figure. Scattered leaf shapes in the upper corners add a decorative note. Figure is warm against the luminous pale centre. Dramatic contrast between glowing stone and dark surround. Moody and painterly.

Cool cream and white ground with strong vertical streaks in deep blue-grey and teal that read like frozen cascades or dripping ice. Figure rendered in the same cool palette with deep shadow and quiet intensity. Large dark organic forms flank the composition like drawn curtains.

Pale blue and cream angular planes fill the background in large airy blocks — bright and open rather than heavy. Figure painted in warm flesh tones against the luminous cool ground. Light-filled and confident.

Entire surface covered in dense irregular fragments suggesting tumbled cloth or folded laundry in warm peach cream cool grey-blue and taupe. Figure fully dissolved into the same fragmented surface with no distinction between figure and ground. Warm domestic and all-over.

Saturated yellow ground with vertical streaks and drips of red orange and blue running through the composition like paint in motion. Figure painted in warm flesh and orange-red tones fully absorbed into the blazing ground. Hot gestural and overwhelming.
