An Ode to Artisan in the City of London

Limited Fine Art Prints

(Printed in Hoxton)

A Monthly Collectable

A homage to the artisan existing within the hustle and bustle of the City of London.

The juxtaposition between the roaring city pace and the slow accumulation of craft and skill - a reflection that binaries can coexist harmoniously.

One artisan business per month captured in acrylic medium on canvas and released as a limited edition of 200 prints — hand-signed, numbered, and never reprinted.

  • My own understanding of artisan begins with my father's analog black and white photographs, developed by him in the darkroom. The chemicals, the timing, the image slowly surfacing on paper — none of it could be hurried. None of it could be faked.

    This project is a homage to that artisan still existing within the hustle and bustle of the City of London. The juxtaposition between the roaring city pace and the slow accumulation of craft and skill — a reflection that binaries can coexist, that life is about balance.

  • Each month, I visit the selected business, observing the light, the architecture, the atmosphere through a sketch or watercolour.

    I work in acrylic medium and mix every colour by hand from primary pigments, building the palette the way a tea blender builds a blend.

    The result is an original painting that captures not just what a place looks like, but what it feels like to be inside it.

  • Each print is a limited edition of 200, individually numbered and hand-signed, and accompanied by a personal handwritten note explaining why this business was chosen.

    All 12 works will be brought together for a solo exhibition in London in 2027.

    The prints you collect now are the record of that journey

Edition 001

Kiani Tea

The Royal Exchange

A Legacy in Every Sip

Situated in the heart of Bank, Kiani Tea is founded by Sara, who continues the legacy of her great-grandfather, a prominent tea merchant and exporter in ancient Persia.

Sara sources and delivers hand crafted teas straight from the source to tea lovers across the world.

  • I selected Kiani Tea as the first edition because of the parallel with my colour blending. Sara blends her teas from sourced across the world, combining them with the instinct of someone carrying a family craft across generations. I blend my colours the same way from primary pigments by hand and carry my legacy of my father’s artist eye for light and dark values.

    Kiani is a reminder that even amid the hustle and bustle of the city, one must always carve out time to savour the artistry and tradition of tea — freshly brewed, and sipped slowly. The painting of Kiani captures this same quiet truth: always make time for tea.

The Colour Story

  • The grey is a warm grey mixed from blue, brown and raw Sienna (sandy yellow). A cold grey with blue undertones would resemble the architecture but lose the hospitality and warmth of the Kiani. The result is a grey stone warmed by afternoon sun, the particular light of a room where the kettle has just boiled.

  • I increased the yellow within the cream to offset the cold blue and lift the grey, which without it would deaden the palette. The open door becomes inviting — a quiet beckoning to step away from the City's pace and into something unhurried.

The colour palette for Kiani Tea is deliberately warm rather than cold.

My art practice began at three years old, enrolled in art school in Shanghai as a way to channel an early aversion to medicine Working in acrylic medium on canvas, my paintings are shared spaces where audiences co-create the narrative.  

My work centres on retaining the humanness that cannot be replicated by AI. The rich analog and tactile traditions preserved through years of mastery. Even in an AI-accelerated world, what is made by hand still matters.

Outside of my art, I have happily meet the Love of my Life.
