About the art
The artwork titled "Basking Shark," conceived in 2020, is part of the B.B. Series, which is inspired by the Blue Belt Programme. The Blue Belt Programme supports the UK Overseas Territories in the protection and sustainable management of their marine environments. In this beautiful series, I have depicted various species accompanied by a blue diving belt bearing the UK flag. This belt symbolizes the protection extended over each of these species. For this majestic basking shark, I have added a crown, representing the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
