Andrew’s gift for portraying the woman’s body is inspiring. With master strokes Andrew captures both the beauty and complexity of a woman’s nature.
Andrew strikes us first with the evocative, soft, dreamy and colourful expression of a woman’s body. But then he skilfully contrasts it, through structured elements and toned down colours of the background, with sharper, less perfect and darker images or moods.
As result we have a unique experience of a sensual fusion between the abstract and the real. This theme of contrast continues in Andrew’s stunning impressions of Australian majestic rock landscapes.
