Warm brown and taupe tones with dramatic rocky stone forms flanking the figure. Painterly and classical in feel. The figure and background feel genuinely integrated.
Portrait from behind, eyes closed, nude, traditional bust cropping, rendered in warm earth tones with painterly classical technique
Warm sandy stone with rounded cobble-like forms filling the background. Soft and tactile. The figure feels set into the surface rather than placed in front of it.

Warm sepia and grey-brown tones over a heavily layered textured surface. The background generates dark flanking forms that read like weathered or torn paper. The figure feels retrieved from an aged document rather than a contemporary image.

Cool blue-purple ground with fragmented cream and gold shapes behind a confident figure. Background generates a broken tile or stained glass quality. Bold and slightly psychedelic in register. Figure holds coherence against the fractured surround.

Warm rose and crimson with large flanking figurative forms swirling around the central figure. Background generates ghosted body shapes in pink and deep charcoal — reflected or echoed presences closing in. Figure stands in a surround of its own warm shadows. Intimate and confrontational.

Deep teal and pale ice blue in large swooping curved geometric planes. Figure integrates into the geometry in matching teal tones — bold and unified. Confident and striking — one of the more elegant geometric styles in this range. Cool and immediately commanding.

Cool silver and blue with dramatic angular mountain-like forms filling the background — jagged peaks or shattered rock faces in dark gestural marks. Figure is warm and painterly against the powerful cool surround. Alpine and commanding. One of the more dramatically structured backgrounds in this range.

Warm cream taupe and brown with a repeating diamond lattice pattern covering figure and background alike. Unified and textile-like — the weave makes no distinction between figure and ground. Warm and distinctive. Unlike most geometric styles this one feels woven rather than fractured.

Pale cream and white with large rounded forms splashed with deep red blue and gold. Background reads like pale swirling marble with vivid colour scattered across it. Figure is warm and integrated into the rich complex surround. Energetic and distinctive — unlike anything else in this range.

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.

Large angular faceted planes in pale blue-grey white and cream cover the entire surface like crumpled paper or crushed ice. Figure painted in warm flesh tones sits gently against the cool crystalline ground. Precise delicate and icy.

Pale near-white ground with loose organic forms in cool blue-grey and warm taupe floating around the figure like torn fragments drifting in open space. Figure painted in warm golden flesh tones with loose painterly marks. Airy and open with generous white space throughout.
