"This web-gallery represents a body of work which was created while I was working as a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where I was inspired on a daily basis by the works of the great Masters.

I tried using a contemporary approach to traditional subject matter, and these works were particularly influenced by the Dutch and Spanish painters of the Seventeenth century."
