©MALLEN is a name pulled from the letters in between. This is not design; this is something else. Something quieter. Something waiting to be found. Maybe you were meant to find it. Maybe not. This is my art.

Latest work: The Seasons

This series ‘The Seasons’ of thirty acrylic on canvas works, created for The Royal in Calgary, explores the shifting moods of weather and seasons as experienced from the building itself. Comprising twenty large single-panel paintings (60 x 40") and ten diptychs (30 x 40" each), the collection invites viewers to interpret the natural elements whether light, atmosphere, or seasonal change, through layers of abstract form and colour. Finished with a gloss varnish, each piece carries a luminous quality that shifts with perspective, allowing the essence of the season to emerge uniquely for every individual who stands before it.
