Hayde was born in Perth, WA but migrated to New Zealand at an early age. He returned to Australia in his teens and studied graphic design, fine art and experimental art, before going on to paint professionally.

His art ranges from pure segmented abstracts, geometric abstracts in three colours, realist animal depictions with stylised backgrounds, through to realist fields and jungle scenes.

Hayde’s art – particularly his abstracts and geometrics – is highly suitable as a focal point for modern interior spaces.

His art hangs in the foyer of the landmark Q1 building on the Gold Coast, on each floor of the Reflections Resort tower at Coolangatta, in the foyer at Broadbeach on the Park and in many private collections.

ARTIST STATEMENT

When I was younger I thought self-expression was self-serving when it comes to art. However, over the years, I have grown to understand the importance of self-expression, not only to the artist, but to all who view art. Even if the intended meaning is not met at a glance, it will, in most cases, evoke an emotion or set a mood that is personal to the individual observer.

It is a difficult task to narrow the meaning of a lot of my work down to a clear definition, as it is often days of intermingled thoughts and ideas, and it is near impossible to slow the thought process down long enough to dissect it. The majority of my work falls into this category so it leaves a wide scope for subjective individual meaning for those who view it.

Having said this, some of my recent works can be defined as looking into the overall road people seem to travel along, and the unrest in the way people conduct their lives and how people sometimes neglect to look outside the small square they live in. The works are intended to bring about varied emotions and give perspective to our sometimes busy lives.

There is a fine line when painting with the freedom of self-expression and creating something that will sit comfortably on a wall and take on the surroundings. This poses a wonderful challenge for me every time I pick up a paintbrush and is something I enjoy and look forward to.
