Latest commission

Commissions are such exciting projects for me! It’s always so interesting to work closely with a client and create a special piece to an interior brief or colour pallet. This recently completed commission involved revisiting an idea from a few years back, but taking a totally new and previously unexplored approach to the framing.

Both myself and the client are delighted with the finished piece! You can read her testimonial below……

“We’d been gifted with a smaller piece of Danni’s work previously and were mesmerised by it’s uniqueness. Looking for a larger piece to complement our new decor, we were inspired by what we saw on Danni’s website. Taking a leap of faith during lockdown , we commissioned ‘Into the Blue’.

The ‘Lapis Moon’

My 'Lapis Moon' has been created using the lapis lazuli pigment, a pigment in the 19th century that was prized so much it was considered to be more precious then gold. The colour that is derived from Lapis lazuli is known as ultramarine and varies in its hue. Within this Moon I’ve created a varied pallet of blues from the original pigment, ranging from deep purples into pale cian.

Blue is the colour of serenity, wellness, tranquil calm and clarity. Throughout time it has been considered a ‘magic colour’ and a defence against evil. In colour therapy its known to boost the immune system, lower blood pressure and overcome depression.

Kandinsky once said “The deeper the Blue becomes the more strongly it calls man to the infinite, awakening in him a desire for the pure, and, finally, for the supernatural.”

My work is inspired by nature and the environment around me which in turn echo the natural rhythms of our universe, and as an abstract I want the audience to find their own emotions when they view the piece and be captured in their own individually way. When I create my moons I hope they Embody an emotive state that I feel at the time of working on them, they are a complex layering of textures, pigments and colours which as I build up, require a very meditative state of mind.”

Sometimes everything in your studio just has to wait, and what you really need, is a burst of colour to blow away the January blues.
