Oil and wax on board
This dramatic image of a single heart is created by setting fire to the paint.
Using a groundbreaking technique, the single red pigment is literally set alight on the canvas and the flames carefully sculpted to create this beautiful piece.
The flames have created a depth of movement which gently draws you in to the centre of the heart. A striking yet fragile image.
Each fire painting is by its very nature, unique.

Painting with fire is dangerous and unpredictable. That's why I enjoy using it as a creative process.
Beeswax, oils and resins are mixed with oil paint and applied warm to the canvas then ignited. The paint can burn from within a few inches of flame to almost a metre in height. I sculpt the flames and smoke using a compressed air gun, which finally extinguishes the fire.
The end result is a complex mix of wax and oils similar to encaustic paintings. The fire and soot create all the deep tones and shading. The hot molten paint mixture gives the painting movement, depth and a richness of colour.
