I work with the material of my own life, drawing from the moments that pierce through the mundane - those of vulnerability and exposure. Although visually playful, my work tends to carry an underlying sense of impending doom, revealing the ambiguities of the lived experiences. Vibrant colour palettes and expressive brushstrokes disrupt the certainty of a depicted scene, tumbling between the literal and the figurative.
Nature plays a central role in my life and paintings, becoming a reflection of memory, fantasy, and identity. Emulating the ability of the light to define an emotional state, I approach colours and gestural marks as a way to reveal different facets of the narrative.
I let the painting unfold directly on the canvas, allowing the brush to guide me toward where the life of a painting lies. Otherwise, the sense of discovery feels staged, and the magic fades. I approach painting as an evolving form, capturing its malleability before it becomes stale.
Looking back, looking forward
