COAST of LIGHT

Art rooted in light, nature & place

Category: Artwork Update

  • (Versión en español abajo) As the temperature rises, some recent photographs have found their way into this new piece, a first swim at the beach, and a dried flower I passed on the way there. Layered together onto a Jasmine White background, the result feels very much like the area right now, especially in the…

  • (Versión en español abajo) Last Sunday I spent some time under the great ficus tree near La Caleta beach in Cádiz, watching Anna (@absowm_art) do bark rubbings on its trunk. There’s something lovely about stopping, and just observing. I was taking various pictures, and back home I layered them into this finished piece, the tree’s…

  • (versión en español abajo) This artwork, like my others, is built from photographs simply layered into one another. The original tree can be found on my walk to work, part of a belt of green and pine trees, halfway along, where you notice a shift in the world. To walk through its shadow is to…

  • The Cherry Tree

    Version en español abajo Another burst of colour is added to the COAST of LIGHT collection with The Cherry Tree, inspired by a recent trip to Cabañas entre Castaños near Jubrique in Malaga province.

  • Art as a Way of Survival

    versión en español abajo A single continuous line, searching for somewhere steadier, carrying the message on a worn and neutral background. The answer is already there though. Art as a way of survival. Art is a way of survival. Created by the pebble pushing technique, shown in a previous blog post, this is one of…

  • River Crossing

    Versión en español abajo Today’s update comes from a place I walk across almost every day of the week: the footbridge (La Pasarela Guadelate) over the river in El Puerto de Santa María. Each day, the light shifts to spring, reflections flicker across the water and the whole bridge becomes a quiet meeting point between…

  • Plaza de Mina

    versión en español abajo Palm trees, filtered light, and the quiet hum of Cádiz in the late afternoon. The artwork Plaza de Mina captures one of the city’s most beloved squares, layered in botanical detail and soft Andalusian tone. It’s a piece about standing still under the palms, looking up and feeling time slow down.…

  • The Process

    Process & Inspiration (versión en español abajo) This week, a look behind The Turning Ground series. It all begins simply: markers, yellow paper, a few words that catch a feeling. From there, everything shifts, is scanned, layered, and reworked digitally until the energy of those first lines finds its rhythm again in light and texture.…
