Colourful collages and beautiful designed greeting cards. 121746942 Upgrade Every system reaches a point where patching is no longer enough. Where the only real move is to rebuild from a deeper level — not faster, not louder, but fundamentally different. Upgrade is that moment rendered visible. Repeating geometric forms cascade across a copper-warm field of green, orange, violet and black. A central vertical pulse runs through the entire composition like a signal being rewritten in real time. The surrounding shapes don't resist it — they respond to it, shifting and reconfiguring as if the matrix itself is learning something new. The surface holds layers of acrylic, ink and gesso on birchwood panel, building a texture that rewards close looking. And then there is the frame. Found at Portobello Market and restored by hand, this 1970s black lacquered frame with its ornate carved corners brings an unexpected dialogue to the work. Baroque flourishes holding a coded, electric painting. The classical containing the radically contemporary. It is not decoration — it is a statement about how transformation always happens within existing structures. This piece is sold framed. The frame is part of the work. 30 × 30 cm · Acrylic, gesso, ink, varnish and copper paint on birchwood panel · 2025 · One of a kind Presented in a restored 1970s lacquered frame sourced from Portobello Market, London.

Before any conscious decision is made, something deeper has already begun to shift — rewriting old instructions, dissolving pathways that no longer serve, building new ones in their place. Organic Repatterining is that process made visible. Striped forms curl and wind across a charged field of red, yellow, green and grey — neither fully geometric nor fully alive, but somewhere in between. They read like cells under a microscope, or like code being rewritten at the source. Nothing here is breaking down. Everything is reorganising. The surface layers of acrylic, ink and gesso on birchwood panel carry the energy of something in genuine motion — not chaotic, but purposeful. Evolutionary. And then the frame pulls you back. The same 1970s black lacquered frame found at Portobello Market — ornate, baroque, hand-restored — that houses its companion piece Upgrade. Two works from the same series. Two frames sourced together from the same market stall, decades old, brought back to life. The classical architecture of the frame doesn't compete with the rawness of the painting. It holds it. Like a body holding a transformation it doesn't yet fully understand. This piece is sold framed.

It doesn't announce itself. It doesn't arrive with noise or drama. It simply happens — and after that moment, nothing looks quite the same. The Time Has Come captures that exact instant. Neon green geometric forms float across a layered field of chaos and controlled noise. They are human silhouettes — structured, unconscious, conditioned — repeating the same pattern until something interrupts them. Vertical lines cut through the composition like signals breaking through code, touching certain forms and disrupting their rigidity. Not destroying them. Just waking them. The copper doesn't glow. It smoulders. Built with acrylic, ink, gesso and copper paint on birchwood panel, the surface holds the tension between automation and awareness — the precise friction that precedes every real awakening. As within, so without. This is not a painting about revolution. It's about something quieter and far more permanent: the moment you choose to see. 30 × 30 cm (artwork) · Acrylic, gesso, ink, varnish and copper paint on birchwood panel · One of a kind Signed, titled and dated on the reverse.

Before alphabets, before written codes, human beings created symbols to hold meaning that words couldn't contain — geometric seals that carried identity, permission, alignment. A visual signature for something too precise to be spoken. Mantis Lineage Seal works in that tradition. A central vertical form anchors the entire composition — a totemic pillar, striped and chromatic, that moves through the painting like a transmitting tower. Its circular terminals at either end function as access points, nodes where different layers of the work connect. Green diamonds punctuate the field with crystalline precision. Around all of it, organic textures and fluid marks introduce something looser, living, unpredictable — the raw material that structured intelligence is always working with. The palette is unapologetic. Red, yellow, blue and green at full intensity, held together by a composition that knows exactly what it is doing. Chaos and order not in conflict, but in conversation. This is a painting that doesn't ask to be analysed. It asks to be stood in front of. Something in the geometry does its work quietly, below the threshold of interpretation — a steadying presence, a point of coherence in a room that needs one. 30 × 30 cm · Acrylic, gesso, ink and varnish on birchwood panel · 2025 · One of a kind Presented in a black floating frame.

A luminous helix spirals through a circular aperture, acting as a conduit for incoming codes, like a bridge between dimensions. The iridescent gradients suggest dragonfly consciousness, a symbol of rapid transformation and multidimensional awareness, while the hot magenta arcs pulse like activation signals. This artwork resonates with themes of transmutation, the Gene Keys, and the new human template emerging through cosmic transmission. Layered textures, shifting colours, and geometric impressions reveal the tension between what was and what is becoming. This is the threshold—where matter, light, and intention converge into a single irreversible moment of metamorphosis. This 30cm x 30cm piece is made with acrylic, gesso, ink and varnish on birchwood panel. It belongs to the artist’s ongoing series exploring geometric abstraction as a form of spiritual language—a visual system for inner codes and cosmic alignment. Framed.
