“ Going to art galleries and museums when I was younger made me appreciate how artists viewed the world with different shapes and colours . Nature inspired me to capture my own experiences , and to illustrate the world and how I viewed it ."
— Sean Rogers on the inspiration behind his art
SEAN ’ S PICK
One of Sean ’ s favourite design projects was the Games Through the Ages 2022 2oz Silver Antiqued Coin , a piece featuring 11 motifs symbolising games long-established in human culture , as well as a 3D insert representing noughts and crosses , or tic tac toe .
“ The historic nature of the games and how I was going to give these games the respect they deserve set the tone for the final look of the coin ,” he said . “ Each game was illustrated with an intricate symbol , achieving a classical look with an historical element ."
