Some paintings are more meditative with a softer, subtle inner light, whilst otherwise use colour and light to create boldness, vibrancy and strength in their compositions.

All works of art featured at Omnibus are for sale. Further artworks can be browsed from the online gallery that exhibits established British and European artists.
