A mortal mark, made by hand, in oil.
Original abstract paintings in oil and ink — laid with knife and brush, scored, dripped, and built up over weeks. Each piece is one of one. No prints, no reproductions.
— Statement —
"Every painting is a mortal mark. Made by a hand, in a single life — imperfect, and impossible to repeat."
— C.P.

— The Process —
Knife, brush, breath, time.
Every piece begins as a stained ground and grows over weeks — thick oil pulled with a palette knife, poured, scored back into, and finally signed in pencil on the back. No filters. No assistants. No AI. Just a single mortal hand and the time it takes.
- 01
Stain & ground
Linen or cotton primed by hand, then washed in dilute pigment until a colour-temperature emerges.
- 02
Build in oil
Heavy impasto laid with knife — layer over layer of thick oil, sometimes 6–8 sittings deep.
- 03
Cut & scratch
Surface scored with the knife handle and pin to expose under-colour. The mark of the hand stays visible.
- 04
Sign & dispatch
Signed in pencil on the back, photographed, packed in the studio, and sent worldwide.
— Collecting —
A few honest answers.
Is it really original?
Yes. Every painting on this site is one of one, signed on the reverse. I do not sell prints or open editions.
Shipping & packing
Studio-packed in custom crates and shipped fully insured worldwide. Quotes given on enquiry.
Commissions
Open by request. I take on a small number each year so each one gets the time it needs. Write to the studio.
— Studio Letter —
First look at new work.
A short letter when a new painting comes off the easel — usually once a month, sometimes less. No noise.
Unsubscribe any time.
Patronage
Keep the studio lit.
If a piece moved you but isn't yours to take home — a small contribution buys canvas, oil, and another quiet morning of work.
