Biography
Originally from Kent in south east England, Phil has spent the majority of his life in Surrey, and in rural Herefordshire in the west of the UK. A creator and collector of artworks since school and college days - particularly minimalist and abstract drawing and painting - Phil focused on a career in business and technology until 2021, when he decided to spend more time exploring and expressing his ideas through digital art.
"When I draw, or paint, I am not trying to capture a physical likeness. I'm not sure if I could. Sometimes, often, at the end, there is hardly anything there. My aim is simply to trigger a thought, or a question, inviting each viewer to fill in the many gaps in their own way. I hope that anyone who sees my work will see a different picture, and will imagine a different story, full of their own experiences, desires, fears, colours, smells, sounds... whatever their mind, and life, can create. To that extent, the harder work rests with the viewer."
