I am more than just a material
being ...
... There are too many strange
and amazing incidents in this
world for me to simply seek
a quietly successful life.
... There is a powerful
enigmatic "something" deep
within that, if I could but
wake it,
it might allow me to advance
dynamically towards what I see
as true creativity.
But what is it?
Some people call it the soul.
But this is not the romantic
image - all love, peace,
and soft edges. It is gutsy,
basic, sometimes painful, even
sacrificial ... yet there is
an unfathomable determination
which tantilizes, even compels
me to take one dangerous
stammering step towards the
labyrinth with each tentative
mark, each faltering stroke I
make.
What have I done?
I have been painting ever
since I was seven and I have
always had an active interest
in anything to do with art.
I have performed at a number
of venues such as the ICA in
London, and at the Edinburgh
Fringe.
I took part in the first
poetry Birming-slam at the MAC
in Edgbaston and have read my
poetry in various places
around the country.
However, my "first love" is

| Your Personal Biography |
Tim Seaward first became aware of the alchemy of applying paint to board at the vibrant age of seven, and ever since he has travelled on many adventures trying to acquire that appropriate knowledge and wisdom.
Tim believes that through the meditative practice of painting not only is the soul revealed but also the path to the source of the soul is tentatively mapped out. So his aim is to share what he "sees" so that the observer might look into each image and perhaps glean a positive "something" which can almost be touched and held.
He has work in many countries throughout the world, and he has exhibited in London,
Birmingham (including the Royal Birmigham Society of Artists), Manchester, Bristol, Bath, and other outlying areas. He has been commissioned by BBC TV, Central TV, British Telecommunications, Pye Telecommunications, and has pieces in the Sheraton Hotel in Brussels, and the Wiltshire County Archives, England.
He now lives and works in France. |
