Discover how vibrant contemporary art can brighten the winter season through my large‑scale painting After the Plague Party in Technicolour. Explore winter art inspiration, bold colour, and creative energy to warm up the coldest months.

As an artist, inspiration often arrives in unexpected ways. Sometimes it’s a color in nature, other times it’s a story that lingers long after the last page. Books open doors to new ideas, emotions, and perspectives—and for me, they often spark the beginnings of a painting.
