Let me ask you a question…
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and felt that familiar sense of wonder - about how vast it is and what lies beyond it?
I’ve always been drawn to that feeling of immensity - the kind that makes you pause, look up, and feel both small and connected at the same time.
As a lifelong Star Wars fan, those opening titles ‘A Long Time Ago in a galaxy far, far way’ have stayed with me over the years. ‘A long time ago…’ isn’t just the beginning of a story; it’s an invitation into scale, mystery, and endless possibility. This painting grew from that same sense of wonder.
Rather than depicting anything literal, I allowed the work to unfold through movement and colour. Deep blues and teals stretch across the surface like open space, while bursts of fiery orange, red, and gold cut through them - suggesting energy, collision, and creation. There’s tension here, but also balance. Calm and chaos exist side by side, just as they do in the stories and skies that inspired it.
Layers were built gradually, with splashes, drifts, and granular textures left visible. These marks act like stardust or distant light - small details that reward close looking. The painting resists a single reading, inviting the viewer to bring their own sense of scale and story to it.
Displayed in a home, ‘A Long Time Ago…’ creates a sense of depth and openness. It expands a room visually and emotionally, drawing the eye outward rather than in. From across the space it feels cinematic and expansive; up close it becomes intimate, revealing complexity and quiet intention.
Collectors often say works like this shift how a room feels. It becomes a place to pause, to reflect, to let the mind wander - much like standing beneath a clear night sky and letting your thoughts drift.
“A galaxy of colour, wonder, and infinite possibility.”
