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.
