Ballet and opera have always been a grand inspiration for Mccreedy, from his diverse love for nature and inspiration, from wild animals to his immense passion and allure for the female form, especially ballet.

Mccreedy is greatly driven by music and sounds which evoke deep emotions for him and his work. The master of Ballet art, Edgar Degas, is an artist who has inspired Mccreedy through the years. In this series of ballerina paintings. Mccreedy states: "Degas ballerina sculptures, paintings, and drawings have moved me immensely. They have brought tears to my eyes, just as live ballet performances and opera concerts have done."

In this body of work, Mccreedy wanted to evoke all the emotions that he has experienced and gone through, to try and capture moments in time, allowing the viewer to be drawn into this profound experience. The allure of ballerinas captured in motion to create a less literal appearance, especially in shades of blue, lies in their ability to capture the ethereal beauty and grace of ballet dancers. Only eight in the world will be painted in this collection.

One of the unique paintings in this collection has a 220-carat sapphire and diamond necklace embedded into the chandelier of the painting. The stones are created by famed art collector and jewelry designer - Suzanne Syz - who is also a collector of Mccreedy's art.

A percentage of the sale of this specific rare painting will be donated to Innovation Africa to provide clean drinking water throughout Africa.

It has taken Mccreedy decades to have delved deep into the world of dance and art. The interplay of delicate brushstrokes and the mesmerising blue hues create a sense of enchantment, transporting the viewer to a realm where movement and art merge effortlessly. In showcasing Mccreedy's fascination for chaos theory we see in this body of work the chaos and perfect structure come to life.

Now, finally, after 10 years of dedication and passion, Mccreedy is thrilled to announce his Ballerina solo exhibition in Paris, taking place in front of the magnificent Eiffel Tower inside the Art Basel Collectors Lounge with Netjets. "I am excited to share my artistic interpretation of ballerinas with the world during the Art Basel in Paris."

Swan Lake

“Oh Swan Lake beautiful and true

Hidden from passing stranger's view

With deep waters ever so blue

Why do maidens turn to swans

At the very sight of you“

— Inspired by Tchaikovsky
