I see art as a continuous reminder of our limitless freedom and potential. Creation is a tool into the subconscious and an area where expression and exploration can be freely encouraged. Art has always been a constant in my life, it has helped me through difficult experiences and continuously teaches me more than I could ever expect.
My paintings openly reflect my life experiences, day-to-day questions and challenges. In this, they become a window for other people to also look into and learn about themselves. I enjoy creating bright, colourful, abstract yet representational paintings that encourage the questioning of the beliefs we hold while simultaneously being inspiring and exciting to look at. I try and create from a place of honesty, showing curiosity about the unknown and deep emotions. I aspire to influence connections between people, bringing them together despite their differences, through shared life experiences.
