Collie Crawford is a passionate abstract artist with a love for texture, colour and mixed media. As a full-time artist, Collie is enduringly curious and is known for his ongoing exploration of new ways to paint and create through sculpting and experimenting with mixed media. A dedicated craftsman, Collie is meticulous about the details of his artwork – he custom makes all his canvases, affording him enormous flexibility with size and scale of his works.

Collie’s latest series of impasto works represent the fruition of a new sculpted style that has gained him significant attention from art appreciators and buyers worldwide. The intersection of painting and sculpting in these works present a captivating homage to the wonderment of the natural world.

As an abstract textured artist, my work celebrates vibrancy and texture.

My paintings are characterised by rich, tactile surfaces and vibrant colours, designed to evoke feelings of happiness and joy. Each piece is a journey, created in a flow state where I allow the work to evolve naturally and intuitively in the moment.

Using mixed media, I incorporate spray paint, thick gels, and acrylics to build layers of texture and colour. This combination of materials adds depth and dimension to my pieces, inviting viewers to explore the intricate details up close.

My purpose as an artist extends beyond aesthetics; I aim to create artworks that enhance well-being. I believe that art has the power to uplift and inspire, and I strive to infuse my work with positive energy and a sense of joy. Through my art, I hope to bring a touch of brightness and well-being into the lives of those who experience it.”
