The artwork titled ‘Diamonds Never Die’ was influenced by my love of ‘James Bond’ movies I grew up watching.
Inspired by the opening credits to each film (silhouette montage). This is what I wanted to capture when painting my own interpretation. The smoke and guns are always a trademark of the franchise, as well as beautiful women, money and espionage.
I prefer to use Acrylic when painting, as I can get bold colours, this also helps me to work with form and shape. This painting I did back in 2004 after the initial design, but when I look back I feel it still has a lot of similarities and aspects of ‘Pop Art’ and my contemporary practise.
