About patrick falaniko

"You see women as they should be seen" this the biggest compliment I keep getting told, and it still makes me blush and proud at the same time. All I know is that my art is inspired by women. Unique, strong, wild, beautiful, joyful, spiritual, raw, feminine. There is a unifying goddess theme that bridges my photography, painting and drawings, but much of the time my work is dedicated to those quiet, sometimes vulnerable moments that women choose to share with me. The company of women is a joy to me, and I'm comfortable with it. I've been working in advertising for 30 years specialising in women's fashion. I grew up in a strong female-led family and I have now lived in a household full of women and children, it was probably inevitable this is where my art would go. My muses are my partner of 19 years, fashion and art models and local volunteers. I have a lot of positive admiration for my work since I launched my art practice in 2018 and feel it's time to show my work to a larger audience of art lovers.
