Let’s SQUIGGLE
So what is SQUIGGLE? It’s everything, and it’s absolutely nothing, it is as meaningless as you can get. Yet it is also an excellent excuse to smile, to feel silly, to forget the pressures around you for a moment and just to stop taking life so seriously. It is an opportunity to take the piss… Read more

Colourless is better
I’m told I over think, I’m complicated and I’m sure the same people when they see my work will come to the same conclusion. Yet it’s simple, I don’t overthink nor am I complicated and when you understand this could be the case all perceptions of my work might be quite easy to understand. It’s… Read more

Depicting the final hours before bars and restaurants had to close their doors and life in the streets that same weekend, through to the two months of lockdown lived in Gibraltar.

Design awareness on climate change
Before Covid-19 became the focus of attention across the world there was another story that even a pandemic will not take away from us. The consequences of human impact on the environment is one that took precedence across many news media outlets, but it was also a focal point for many artists and designers. It… Read more

No right to speak but saying it nonetheless
Today I am moving away from speaking about my work and taking this chance to put forward my personal opinion. This comes after I was asked this week how I saw art in Gibraltar and what was good in it and how I would improve it? It made me think, and unfortunately for the person… Read more
