Philip is passionate about art: he eats, dreams, breathes and lives for art !
He has a wide knowledge of contemporary art and is always researching all things art through books and documentaries. Over the last few years he has been developing more figurative narrative pieces and hopes to finish a major series this year, of which, most has never been seen. He also has ideas for 3 different series to work on in 2020 with less on portraiture.

Philip paints 9 to 5 Monday to Friday and he treats his art practice as a
full-time profession. He has been painting full-time since 2014 and he suffers with major guilt if he misses a day in the studio. At night, in front of the TV, he draws and paints in his sketch books. He has one or more on the go. He is prolific and he has amassed some 25,000 plus works from small sketches to large works on board and canvas.

Philip is predominantly a portrait artist and he portrays his subject’s character and personality in a range of portraits using vibrant colour and gritty expressionism often finishing with a realist portrait of them.
He believes a painted portrait should be more than a reproduction of an image that could be obtained easily by a camera click and that it should make the viewer think and feel some empathy towards the sitter.
