Shine

Shine has two distinct approaches to his work, he enjoys creating abstract or motif-like medium to large scale paintings in bright and bold colours.

In this approach Shine enjoys using an easel to paint, and enjoys the act and professional nature of painting. For inspiration Shine often chooses bright illustrations that contain birds, flowers, birds and illustrative landscapes, such ‘The Sea’, a beach scene he created with watercolour, acrylic and posca pen. 

Another way Shine works is by creating loose abstract backgrounds from ink and acrylic paint, and working into them by illustrating patterns in a posca pen. 

Shine recently worked on a piece by Yayoi Kusama, painting the background first and embellishing the artwork with his signature circle motif to form the futures of the portrait. He has later reproduced this idea and created a portrait of himself in the same style.
