Art and design have the power to shape culture, challenge societal norms, and inspire positive change. They can bridge gaps, provoke thought, and create empathy where there was once indifference. In the hands of the right people, art and design can change the world for the better.

Website Design


In accordance with the requirements provided, a website design was developed that embodies minimalistic and clean aesthetics, with an aim to place emphasis on the artist’s work as the main focal point. This design approach is well-suited for displaying portfolios and artwork, as it avoids the use of superfluous design elements that may detract from the primary content. The simplicity of the design guarantees that the artist’s work remains the central attraction of the website.

The International Network

The International Network Against Accusations of Witchcraft and Associated Harmful Practices was formed in 2022 to connect the different groups and initiatives working on this issue across the globe.  It seeks to raise awareness about the human rights abuses taking place as a result of beliefs in witchcraft or sorcery and encourage action by states and individuals to end them.

Alex Emsley | Artist

I am fascinated by the technical aspects of painting. I immerse myself in the obscure techniques that painters have used for centuries to create convincing illusions in paint. Because of my fixation on the technical aspects of painting, I have been told that I am more of a craftsman than an artist.
