“Painting has become an essential part of my creative process. I start with a blank canvas. I have no idea how the painting will finish. Using only primary colours, red, yellow and blue, I build up texture and foundation (I am a minimalist at heart), like writing prose except with paint. Sometimes a theme emerges. So for me painting is like writing, creating a composition in colour.”
John Desmond
