Akukonta Painting

Hi, I spend my time creating art for sale. I like to create colourful, abstract paintings (that come ready to hang). I hope to use my art to bring colour & happiness to your life. Thanks for being here! - Craig (Artist) Born in Hertfordshire, England in 1964 ​I was introduced to the world of art originally through my training as a Chef in 80s London. At that time I was living in Mayfair right in the middle of all the action. I was fortunate enough to have been trained under Louis Outhier who was a key contributor to nouvelle cuisine which used the plate as a canvas for food. Here is where I learnt discipline, hard work, the importance of preparation and a flare for the original and for colour. Working at this level placed me in close contact with many high profile people including: all the attendees of the Rock and Pop awards as well as Royalty, politicians and actors. ​ Current day: Today I am based in Melbourne Australia. When I began painting years ago all I was really doing was experimenting with colour. My original idea was to find some sort of style or colour combinations that was uniquely mine. I soon discovered that I would never stop experimenting since that in itself is the real joy of painting for me. ​Thank you for your support. Craig.
