ART STATEMENT

I celebrate the human experience and the impact people have on the world. My work expresses human emotions through my unique perspective, continuously challenging myself to unlock my creative potential. Embracing the creative process and accepting imperfections allows me to uncover the beauty and connection in my work.

My artwork infuses classical techniques with a profound exploration of hidden aspects of existence. It delves into the complexities of human emotion, perception, and identity, offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of diversity and depth in every face we encounter.

My artistic journey is a testament to my fascination with the interplay of colour, light, and shadow. Influenced by artists such as Jenny Saville, my portraits and figurative pieces, created using acrylic, oil, and multi-media on canvas, capture life’s fleeting moments and reveal the unseen world beyond our physical senses. My ink and pencil illustrations, crafted with layered ink and enhanced by colour or special effects, add depth and highlights.

Inspiration for my portraiture comes from building stories around sitters in their environments or capturing their energy through photo sessions. I draw further inspiration from everyday people, models, celebrities, magazines, photography, and film.

As a contemporary artist, I constantly experiment with new techniques and materials. My work evokes wonder and introspection, encouraging viewers to explore their own perceptions and experiences. Rather than replicating reality, I create a space where reality can be reimagined in thought-provoking ways.

Join me on this artistic journey to find solace, inspiration, and connection in the brushstrokes and colours that weave their fleeting magic in our shared human experience.
