Fruits of my Labour - Original by Luke Maund
For artist Luke Maund, a family bereavement became the catalyst for a profound personal and creative transformation. In the wake of loss, he felt a pull to return to his artistic roots—a reconnection that offered both solace and direction. What began as a traditional approach soon evolved into something far more expressive and raw. His current bold, abstract style emerged not as a stylistic choice, but as an emotional necessity—a visual language to process grief and rediscover purpose.
Luke’s work is defined by its striking simplicity. In a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming, he aims to create pieces that bring a sense of calm and clarity. “Life can be so complicated and messy,” he says. “That’s why I try to achieve an element of simplicity in my work. To bring a nugget of clarity into an otherwise chaotic world.” Each painting offers a moment of stillness—a visual pause that invites the viewer to breathe, reflect, and feel. Deeply personal yet universally resonant, Luke’s art isn’t just about expression; it’s about connection. Through his abstract forms and thoughtful composition, he hopes each viewer finds not just beauty, but a bit of comfort too.
