PROJECTS

My custom design business in Dubai was a creative playground.

Local and international clients had a thirst for unique artwork to adore their palaces, hotels, nightclubs and private villas. Rapid prototyping processes allowed me fantastic opportunities to explore and express a lot of ideas.

It was really fun

I love seeing ideas come to life.
Here are a few pics from my portfolio at this time;

The Capital Club, (Private Members Club), Dubai UAE
Light and Water Sculpture

This artwork created a lovely engaging ball of luminous light. The proprietor wanted to entice people out to this deck during the cooler months.

This artwork is a large scale light and water sculpture. The 2 front facades had a cascading wall of water in continuous rotation.

Private Villa in Emirates Hills, Dubai UAE
Handpainted 8m Dome

This massive dome adorned the entry foyer in our clients private villa. Glazed silver leaf caught the light, drawing the eye upwards and encompassing the space.

Specialized Italian metallic painting effects and hand made glazes were used in creating this piece. It is beautiful with both the lights on and off.

Grand Millennium Hotel Sulaimani, Iraq,
Gold Leaf Sculptural Panel Artwork

This artwork was placed next to the lift well in the dining hall in a luxury hotel in Iraq.

The 3 large format panels changed their reflective illuminance according to the flow of sunlight across the space within the day.

Each individual gold leaf square reflected the light beautifully and was created using traditional Italian oil glazing effects.

Private Villa, Dubai. United Arab Emirates
Glass Sculpture Screens with Silverleafed Edging.

The interior designer had a vision for an entry focal point.

This sculpture rhythmically stacked, spaced and suspended glass panels from floor to ceiling, catching the light and setting the luxurious tone of the room.

We developed a proprietary solution for silver leafing on to glass for this project.

Private Villa, Dubai UAE
Mural, Artwork and Translucent Screens

Here the architect wanted a story of water. This was reflected with a handpainted casutic painted mural that spanned the entire length of the pools coffet.

We also created a 40 panel acrylic and resin artwork, each an interpretation of light traversing water.

The caustic pattern was also printed onto a translucent graphic to cover the sliding glass doors.

Private Client
Textiles Design and Production

This body of work was designed and produced in India. In extensive experimentation and workshopping new hand dyeing techniques were developed by me and manufactured by a team of highly skilled weavers and dyers.

They were produced and showcased at the Shanghai International Furniture Fair.
