Paintings
Derek's portrait paintings are produced in collections, each with their own unique style and theme. Derek's art ebbs and flows over time in synchronisation with his emotions and influences.
The Hues of Fame collection started in early 2023. Derek is drawn to these inspirational legends and the amazing impact that they have made on thousands of individuals around the globe. The Hues of Fame art reflects a different perspective from what you would have typically been exposed to in the past.
Dive into my 'Echoes of Stardom' collection of contemporary work celebrating iconic figures from music, film, sport, art, and fashion.

In my late 2022 and 2023 collection, "Emovere," I delve into the essence of human emotion, fragility, and vulnerability. Each piece portrays everyday characters, capturing the depth of their feelings.
