In terms of my art-making practise, I’ve never really enjoyed painting. I’ve been drawn towards more digital mediums for a while now, so with painting, I usually try to keep things very abstract, since I don’t particularly have the skills to create anything realistic. Barber’s work is often very simple, and even when it is depicting a landscape like in Magnificent Matakana (right), there’s hardly any details or anything that most landscape paintings would have. However, it still manages to portray the scene in a clear way, which is why I like it.
