Ian De Souza
Ian De Souza’s @iandesouzaartarts practice spans more than 35 years. he is experienced in all mediums, with water-based colours and inks being his preference .Ian ‘s most recent works involve a process of bleeding inks through layers of rice paper, inspired by his recent travels to India, China and South East Asia.
Light in its many dimensions has been foundational in Ian's work. He sought it making his water colours. He sought it in the human figures he created with washes and gouaches and every painting medium. Assumed he needed to capture it, apply it to his work. Now, his approach is different.
"the past 40 years have been dedicated to my arts practice and it has taken me that long to arrive at this new stage in my work – a state of minimum distraction. i consider my earlier work to be derived from an external point of view. this new body of work points to an internal journey emphasising the duality of life and the power of empty space – clear light."
