1000 Watercolour Poems

A thousand sorrows, an

unreachable well of

sadness

released as I surrender

to paper

christopher evans


I began creating watercolour poems February 2025 when i was stuck in an empty house with a chair , a table and a bed and life was quite tense. I had stopped my acrylic painting 6 months earlier due my Dads death and with a need for painting to ground me but not having any space i began making watercolour poems.

The poems are my way to interpret the world , a way of re-connecting myself , joy of painting and communicating something i do not have words for . The poems influence my photography , my other paintings and how i see the world. To me they are sacred and necessary for me to function.


From April 2026 all my watercolour poems are available to purchase : I have some on the shop which you can buy directly however if on this gallery the watercolour poem has not got sold on them you can buy them by emailing chris@christopher-evans.com with the painting you wish and once i have replied to secure it please then purchase on the general watercolour link in the shop.
