Artist Statement

"Abstract Expressionist at heart, my artistic journey thrives on the uninhibited energy of Abstract Expressionism. I am drawn to the freedom of expression this movement offers, where the canvas becomes a platform for raw emotions and unfiltered thoughts. My creative process is often impulsive and intuitive, allowing the paint itself to guide me as much as I guide it. Through energetic gestures, gestural marks, and a dialogue between colour and form, I strive to evoke emotions and invite the viewer into a world of subjective interpretation."
