About the Ebook
This book follows an imaginary journey from the dark seas and lagoons of Iceland to the luminous waters of the Messenian Gulf. The series of work was created close to the ancient settlement of Kardamily, in the sultry outer Mani, the larger canvases were completed later on my return home.



I believe I managed to catch something of the mysterious light and heat that lingers on the sea and slowly seeps from the rocks and sands as evening falls and the rich loaming settles its gaze on us in this magical place.

Richard Heys
Forest Row, East Sussex, United Kingdom

I grew up in West Yorkshire at the foot of the Pennines. The bleak beauty of the rocky crags and moors surrounding our farm continues to inform my work. I have lived in East Sussex since 1997 and am particularly inspired by the shapes and moods of the South Downs. I strive to create paintings with presence, paintings which have atmosphere and countenance. For the last couple of years I have been working in a beautiful light-filled studio in Forest Row exploring tools and techniques which disguise the hand of the artist. I have found in this limitation and challenge a greater freedom. In my practice I explore light and darkness and pure, lyrical colour journeys, working with transparency and glazing to create vibrant surfaces. I am engaged in a passionate journey to rediscover beauty and uncover the unknown. To learn more visit www.richardianheys.co.uk
