Protagonists of Antwerp 4

Acrylic on canvas

2024

London

120x90cm

Part of the Flanders series, this painting focuses on the unique diamond cluster in Antwerp - a global hub with a very local feel and a strong, distinctive community. The painting deals with those social ties and relationships with the city fabric, using layering and geometry to illustrate the process behind this unique diamond creation, from roughness to perfection.
This is about the jewellery being made, with a beautiful object unfolding.
