Postcards from Utopia
These colourful, strangely nostalgic, landscapes are places which only existed for a moment, never to be seen again.
My idea, as with my previous postcard projects, was to create a place in time that might be considered ideal - a place to escape to, surreal and fantastical. Isn’t that what we want in a getaway?
Each piece was created in a manner similar to artist like Courbet, Degas, Manet and other impressionists.
