Valentineβs Collection
βCustosβ- Valentines day oil sketch
π©βπ¨ Studio thoughts:
I named the piece Custos, which is a Latin word meaning guardian or protector. I was drawn to it for this reason because I hope the viewer can feel the quiet strength in the love between the two. This Valentineβs, Iβm exploring all loves, not just romantic love. The kind of love that doesnβt need to announce itself, because itβs deeply rooted.
In this mare and foal painting, thereβs a sense of staying close, of being held, guided, and kept safe. That relationship felt like the heart of this piece, and the name Custos seemed to capture it perfectly.
The colour palette was kept soft and warm, allowing space for a calm feeling whilst still holding depth and detail through the use of my brush markings.

π©βπ¨ Studio thoughts:
I named this piece Alma, a Latin word often translated as nourishing, kind, or soul. Itβs a word thatβs often linked to the phrase alma mater, meaning βnourishing motherβ or βfostering mother.β Historically, it was used to describe nurturing goddesses, and later became associated with places of learning and growth. I like how it carries that sense of care, support, and quiet encouragement.. For this Valentineβs Day, I wanted to explore love in its quietest form. Not just romantic love, but the deep, steady bond that nurtures and holds us.
In this mare and foal, thereβs a softness in their closeness. I hope you can feel a sense of comfort and reassurance. That feeling felt central to this piece, given the foalβs little muzzle touching his mother and the name Alma seemed to capture it perfectly.
The colour palette was kept soft and warm, while still holding depth and detail through the layering and brushwork I applied.
