St Cruyff, 100x80cm, Acrylic and 24k Gold leaf on canvas. I love football and I love Barcelona as a city for its vibrancy and atmosphere and architecture and they also happen to have one of the greatest football teams in the world. My painting titled “St Cruyff” shows Barcelona and Dutch legend Johan Cruyff in action performing his iconic Cruyff turn. He’s an icon and one of the greatest players to ever play the game. I went for a stain glass window effect like you would find in a church, I believe football stadiums are like churches in lots of ways and I titled the piece St Cruyff in tribute to his vision of the beautiful game. Influenced by Cubism and Picasso, should you get the chance to visit Barcelona make sure you visit the four cats cafe where Picasso had one of his first ever exhibitions. I used to love practising the Cruyff turn and when i was a young footballer I always found it the most effective turn.
