I lived in Kostos, this sweet small town in the mountains of Paros, Greece, for two months in 2023. It had a wonderful view of the sea. But I soon discovered that the very best view was found by wandering through the olive groves to a small church on the opposite hill, turning my back to the sea and watching the sunset transform the village’s surroundings into shades of green, gold and purple. Pure magic.
I wanted this painting to feel like a snapshot of a peaceful moment, purely focused on the sunset light, rich colours and Greek beauty. I hope you can sense my nostalgia and love for my short time spent here, and how truly special it is.
I adored painting this piece. The colours are so rich and contrast in a way that captures the glow I remember from my time on the island. Layering the golds and greens in an instinctive way felt fresh and fun, and I hope you can sense that in the final piece.

I lived in gorgeous Lecce for a few months a few years ago. I never tired of strolling through the baroque old town every evening to watch the last of the sun catch the tops of the sandstone buildings, turning them bright yellow.
I wanted this painting to feel both intimate and spectacular - with the narrow dark street of simple houses leading to the wonderfully illuminated and ornate baroque church.
This was a painting that flowed from my paintbrush with very little resistance. I loved mixing the rich colours, and pushing them so they sing against their complementary opposite. For such a dark little painting, I found so much joy in its creation.
