Concept

I work mainly with acrylics as I appreciate their rapid drying time when layering colours. Yet, my paintings are far from spontaneous. Each stroke is a reflective and contemplative personal response to sights, sounds, and memories. Whether it’s an abstract composition, a figurative piece, or something that hovers in between my goal is to capture the essence of a place or a moment in time. Each artwork becomes an impression rendered into being, a visual echo of personal experience.
