Design DNA
Template: warm grey-cream (#EFEDE8) canvas with near-black text and no accent colour. A condensed italic serif carries the voice: a huge ALEX MONROE nameplate across the full width, italic intro and why-me statements, with a small grotesk for nav, labels and details. A dark, painterly still-life photo (rabbit, dried flowers, carrots) spans the width below the name. Then a (WHY ME) statement with three short benefits, a 3x3 grid of paintings each set small inside a white mat card with title, size, medium and price underneath, an About split with a studio photo and an upcoming exhibition, and a light footer.
