About the art and me

The art I produce is not intended as a political statement, for controversy or to create a movement, but rather as a medium for self expression and connection with the viewer through raw emotion and desires.

In order to successfully transmit my feelings onto the canvas, I never paint anything that has not truly touched or inspired me. I pour my heart and soul into each piece in an attempt to extract the same reaction I had from the viewer. If I feel I have failed at portraying how I was moved by the subject or do not do the subject justice, I will throw it away and start over.

Each colour chosen has a purpose and each curve intended to lead you to explore the painting in the way I would. This is in an attempt to take you on the journey with me as if we are experiencing the piece together - holding hands and getting lost together -  or as close to it as possible.

My style, which I have developed since I started painting over 15 years ago, lends itself to the way I see the world influenced by biology. The universe is all made of indistinguishable fragments of things, but, somehow, they still are able to compose a legible final depiction of organic matter. I have been asked several times if they were digitally produced when people have seen the pictures of the paintings. I have to reassure them that they are done by hand which is evident once you step closer.

Each curve and gradient represents and satisfies the part of me that is a stickler for accuracy and slight OCD while trying to break free of it by the not so perfect lines and the abstract construct of the subject matter.
​
The combination of all these parts inevitably means that each painting I create is extremely personal and has in its bones a part of me.
