Michael Wilson - sculptures

I am a creative and conservation artist who absolutely enjoys producing colourful and pleasing artworks. My aim is to brighten up and help improve the wellbeing of people, and inspire them to incorporate art and nature into their lives. Creativity is part of me, which goes hand in hand with a deep respect of and interest in, our natural environment.

We are gifted by imagination and I make great use of this before starting on new projects. I often experiment with shapes, colours and their locations to show imagined motions. And use different tools and materials to create textures, thus giving a tactile touch to the painting surface.

Some of my paintings with different surface textures can be explored by persons with limited senses.

Some of the ideas about shape, motion and flow in my abstract paintings, have come from my previous experience in production engineering, business administration and information technology.

My sculptures are developed forms of African serpentine or opal stone using the natural shapes of the presented raw material. After shaping, washing and smoothing, the sculptures are heated then coated in natural wax, followed by polishing. Semi-precious gemstones are embedded as an interesting embellishment.
