ARTISTIC BLEND

Amalgamating multiple creative disciplines distilled into a blend that results in extraordinary masterpieces. 

Humphrey amalgamates the expertise gained from lifelong creative pursuits and insatiable curiosity, distilled into an artistic blended methodology. Humphrey says, “I believe art and design helps people connect to themselves, to others and to the world around them.” 

His multifaceted and dynamic approach is created with a complex combination of intellectual concepts, inventive making, aesthetic mastery and emotional sensitivity to deliver deceptively simple, yet deeply layered and profound experiences. Saatchi wrote, “Humphrey is more creative,” which has established him as “a new super-discipline of visual creativity,” as stated by Identity magazine.
