Michael Commerford

I start with a drawing. I can tell straight away if it's got something. My best work happens immediately without too much fuss. I have always loved the feeling of working with my left hand even though I am right handed.

"THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE CREATIVE PROCESS IS TO KNOW YOURSELF. I NEED A SPIRITUAL CONNECTION WITH MY WORK"

Why I work

I get this amazing feeling when I am free and it just starts to fall out of me onto the canvas. I am impetuous by nature so my Vayu style works because it's about knowing yourself and capturing the soul of your subject.

What I believe

In terms of success or failure... I call it creative karma. People are attracted to my work because there's a connection for them. I write words on all of my paintings. If these are honest then they'll resonate.
