This is a classic tale of seduction and power. The woman in the painting is saying the lines to herself as she sprays her neck with the perfume, practicing for what will come later that evening - she has an invitation to a very special party in which the president himself will be there. She has created a special perfume which casts its fragrance out and creates a curiousity. The president will smell the perfume and wonder what it is, and also wonder why he knows straight away that the woman in purple is the wearer. He asks "What perfume is that you're wearing?" to which she replies "Take a sniff, Mr. President." If you look closely at the painting, you'll see there's a worm in the bottom of the perfume bottle. An hour after taking a close sniff, the president is dead.

I studied illustration at the Edinburgh College of Art, where I developed a deep foundation in both traditional technique and creative expression. In 1998, I relocated to Sweden, where my artistic career was more of a hobby under the name Gareth B. Rychter.
The birth of my son prompted a powerful shift in focus. Choosing to prioritise fatherhood, I stepped away from the art world to embrace that chapter of life fully.
Now, in 2025, I return to the canvas with renewed energy and clarity, working under the name Gareth A. Rychter. My current practice explores two distinct yet complementary styles: one rooted in the immediacy and spontaneity of observational sketchbook work, the other in the precision and stillness of photo-realism. Together, these approaches reflect a lifelong engagement with both the fleeting moment and the carefully constructed image.
