Back to profiles

As the lead artist of AidenMay, I've been creating art since childhood, nurturing a lifelong passion that has evolved into a profound interest in design, photography, and an anthropological approach to surrealism, portraiture, and landscapes. My inspiration stems from Victorian, vintage, and Gothic eras, as well as 17th Century Dutch Masters and J M W Turner.

As an artist, my goal is to create works that resonate deeply with viewers, inviting them into a world of emotion and contemplation. With each piece, I strive to craft a visual journey that brings joy and sparks a sense of exploration, revealing new facets with every viewing.

My art is a fusion of classical techniques and modern sensibilities, drawing inspiration from Victorian aesthetics, Gothic motifs, and the timeless mastery of 17th-century Dutch painters and JMW Turner. Through my work, I aim to bridge the gap between past and present, creating pieces that are both familiar and refreshingly novel.

I believe in the power of art to inspire and provide a sanctuary for reflection. By focusing on dimension, contrast, and juxtaposition, I create multi-layered narratives within each piece. These narratives are open to interpretation, allowing viewers to find personal meaning and connection.

In collaboration with my partner, Kirsty, I strive to produce authentic and original art that challenges perceptions and invites dialogue. Our collective, AidenMay, is dedicated to creating accessible yet profound works that hold space for viewers to reflect, enjoy, and find their own stories within the canvas.

My journey as an artist is ongoing, and with each piece, I aim to grow, explore, and push the boundaries of my creativity. It is my sincere hope that my art not only decorates walls but also enriches lives, offering moments of joy, contemplation, and inspiration to all who experience it.
