On my recent Art Adventure to Venice (2023) I witnessed the Basilica of San Marco in all its blinding, sun-lit, water-reflected magnificence. It stayed in my mind as I wondered ‘how can I paint this beauty in a way that it has not been painted before?.’ I wanted it to appear and disappear. I wanted to make an ‘ecological’ statement about loosing Venice to floods caused by global warming. Of course it’s not just Venice, BUT Venice does make a profound statement of our current destructive trajectory .
