My artistic practise explores the nature of materiality, culture and perception. This has traditionally been expressed through exuberant experimental brush marks and altered paint consistency on large-scale canvases, delving into the expressive and transformative potential of oil paint through asking questions of the world and the paint itself: investigating how gesture, tone and flow articulate emotion, space and time.

My practice harbours a sensitivity and respect for its natural world subject-matter. I believe in the power of art to change individual’s perceptions and show the beauty in the often overlooked, mundane or taken for granted.

The tension between abstraction and presence inspires my work, embracing unpredictability as a way of revealing expressive qualities and uncovering unexpected experiences in subtle details. Each work therefore unfolds as a dialogue between control and chance. The creative journey is never linear and the final outcome is always a surprise. It is the test of experimenting and bringing together discordant symphonies to solve the artistic-principles puzzle, that provide personal gratification.

Travel and cultural engagement are central to my practice, expanding my understanding and acceptance of the beauty of differences in the world. These span from cultural to natural landscapes, rituals expressed through food practices and associations.

Through these approaches, I aim to engulf and confront the viewer with emotive works, to which they bring their own subjective associations.
