Photopaintings

My Photopainings are part painting and part digital collage, they are inspired by the drama and adrenaline of the race track and are based on my own photographs of Formula 1 cars and recordings of their engines.

Each digital photograph is scrutinised for potential shapes, colours and reflections - the raw materials of the future Photopainting. The image is then pushed through a translation process to interpret and abstract the sounds of an engine in visual form.
