‘I am a mixed media artist and inspired by life and observations. My works are an outcome based an initial concept then worked in whatever media I feel is suitable. My visual vocabulary of elements and principles such as contrast, colour, movement and rhythm work with the chosen subject matter to portray the narrative. I love to explore both figurative and abstract.” Justin Kite
