TOM PAYNE

Tom takes inspiration from the natural landscape and in particular, the sea, sky, desert and space. This includes the rural aspects around his home in Warwickshire, along with the coastal beauty of Dartmouth, Devon and the desert in Dubai when visiting family. He uses texture to drum up atmosphere and drama in his pieces and focuses on bright contrasting colours, working to make them look like scenes from outer space or turbulent skyscapes and seascapes. Tom wants the viewer to connect with his paintings and enjoy what they see.
