Yuan Hickman | Contemporary Painter

​

I paint intuitively. My work is often influenced by the seasons, emotions, music and whatever interests me at the time.

​

Floral forms, landscapes and small moments of everyday life emerge as I work. My paintings are often layered and atmospheric, with textures, layers of colour and translucent glazes reflecting an ongoing process of exploration and discovery.

​

Without a fixed outcome in mind, I allow myself to paint freely, letting the surface record my changing responses as the work develops.

Working this way keeps the process fresh and often surprises me, revealing passages I could not have planned.

​

This sense of discovery is what keeps me painting, and through my work, I hope to connect with others.
