Artist's statement
Representation is not my primary focus; instead, I am drawn to the emotional undercurrents tied to the experience of shape, form, colour, and materials. Over the years, my approach to painting has been deeply
influenced by a fascination with structure and surface. I create works that bridge the divide between two- and three-dimensional forms, blending
the illusionary aspects of both. Through this, I aim to evoke an emotional response, using the language of colour and form as my tools.
In many of my paintings, the shaped sections can appear as either concave or convex, depending on how the external light moves across their surfaces.
This shifting interaction highlights the transient nature of colour and light, challenging the flatness of the painted surface and redefining the relationship between edge and form.
My involvement with printmaking has been a significant influence on my painting practice. The process of creating surfaces for printing and
working with stencils has informed many aspects of my work. Over time, my experimentation with techniques has blurred the boundaries between
painting and printmaking to the point where the two disciplines feel almost indistinguishable.
My paintings and prints have been exhibited regionally and nationally and are included in corporate and private collections in the UK,
Australia, and Chile.
I’ve participated in gallery and group shows in
London, such as the RA Summer Exhibition, the
Cork Street Open and Gallery 27.
The Mall Galleries NEAC, the National
Print Exhibition, the Affordable Art Fair in Battersea,
and the Business Design Centre.
