ARTISTS STATEMENT

I currently make abstract paintings that are open to interpretation. I’m not trying to tell a specific story or direct the viewer to a single meaning. Instead, I want each person to respond in their own way, based on what they see and bring to work. Colour plays a central role. I’m interested in the contrast between bold, saturated colours and more muted, earthy tones. Placing these together creates tension and balance and helps shape how the painting feels without fixing what it means.

My background in architecture influences how I approach composition. Even when the work looks loose or spontaneous, there is an underlying structure and attention to space, proportion, and placement. I also work with non-traditional painting tools alongside brushes. My process incorporates construction and architectural methods, and this leads me to apply paint in a more physical, layered way—building, scraping, and shifting surfaces rather than simply painting them.

Living in London for 15 years also had a strong impact on my work. Graffiti and street art—where layers of paint build up over time—inform both my use of colour and my approach to abstraction. I’m drawn to the way these surfaces evolve, with marks partially hidden, reworked, or left behind. Overall, my work is about making something visually engaging while leaving space for different interpretation.
