Thanks Tony. I grew up in country Victoria (Australia) and have always felt a connection with the land I come from. After returning from living abroad I began to appreciate painting in the bush and how visually different it is to any other environment I had seen. I painted using slight shifts in perspective to highlight the sense of space I was trying to portray and to move away from the flat photographic style image.
I have gradually come to focus upon the relationship we have with the land and in this instance a spiritual relationship with or within the land. With the figure I am also trying to introduce narrative within this environment. This has been done in Australian painting before but I am hoping it is fresh and relevant.
Marco, this is a wonderful painting… so beautifully painted and so mysterious! I love all the textures and earth colors. I love how your paintings are so close to the earth and your figure wants to be part of it… it seems to my anyway.

Thanks for your comment. Yes, I hope there is some sort of connection with the earth coming through in the painting.
