Every piece begins with a feeling and moves between that and what I see.

I don’t separate painting from drawing. I build my work through layers of acrylic, charcoal, and pastel, working primarily on wood panels. Each layer influences the next, allowing the work to emerge through observation, curiosity, and instinct.

I believe truth rarely exists in certainty. It reveals itself through contradiction. Colour exaggerates emotion. Proportion stretches. Edges remain unresolved. They are attempts to create a visual language for what is often felt but rarely spoken.

I’m less interested in capturing a perfect likeness than revealing something that feels undeniably human. My work invites pause rather than certainty, leaving room for the viewer to bring their own experiences into what they see.

For me, a painting is never about arriving at certainty. It is an act of distillation. I exaggerate, remove, and leave unresolved until only what feels most true remains.
