“It’s a Rich Life”
Judge comments – This painting invited me into its many layers and showed maturity in the artist’s oil brush skills.
>It gave me glimpses through serene portals of time and seasons with finely painted motifs that the artist chose to represent some of the richness of life.
>The work is layered, celebrating the present and the fleeting in the foreground, but the underlying base of the painting is what gives us a sense of things eternal and spiritual, which is the backdrop for life. The cultural symbolism speaks of the importance of virtues essential to our harmony and the well-being of mankind.
The beautifully executed aboriginal design cleverly harmonises and marries the artist’s cultural past with his adopted NZ home, which is part of his identity. I felt the painting was calmly thought-provoking and uplifting. Ivan Clarke

About the 20th and 21st-century artist
We all hunger for connection and alignment with trustworthy leadership.
Ian Anderson Fine Art Gallery (IAFA) invites you into Ian’s transparent journey with God’s trustworthiness visible in all his works.
Ian says, “I am like a little boy in an *aging suit with a lot of playful creativity to explore before leaving the planet. This rich life offers me the opportunity to overcome personal fears, create artistic excellence, and inspire others. My final bus stop is to be fully present with God, bathed in His mercy”
*An aging suit (my temporal body) housing, my soul and eternal spirit, which doesn’t age, allows the little boy in me to learn and play forever.

Ian’s disciplines
Painting, photography, leathercraft, traditional and digital illustration, sculpture, conceptual graphic design, branding, storytelling, music, and poetry.
Ian is a passionate creative who creates personalised artworks with a realist foundation and parabolic insight. He is not averse to dabbling in other genres, as everything under the sun has a story to tell. Their stories motivate Ian to reveal the uncovered mysteries in parables.
An allegory to inspire
“To create is the essence of God’s character”.
In the realm of creative enterprise, you need insight, revelation, light, darkness, and God’s grace to live your dream.
“The world of spirit, made in the image and likeness of God, is to be seen and enjoyed on earth … As it is in heaven”.
Cultural visibility in painting, photography, leathercraft, design, illustration, sculpture, the sciences, food, and poetry speaks from an inner world made visible by gifted individuals.
Embedded in Ian’s images is this firmly held belief
“The greatest gift God gave to man is not sight; it is a creative vision. The eye function is sight. The spirit’s function is vision. Natural eyes see the world. Spiritual eyes (the heart of man) create a vision for living. Embedded within every spirit is the hunger to discover something true. Truly, we worship what we idolise, and what we idolise will destroy or create the life we hunger for.”
