Artist Statement

I began drawing at a very young age, fascinated by how graphite could gather and fade across paper, leaving behind a metallic sheen. Decades later, oil paint remains central to my practice – not only for its material versatility, but for its role as a carrier of tradition, connecting historical inquiry with contemporary concerns.

My work combines oil paint with other materials to explore the relationship between visual language, perception, and memory. Informed by my background in interior design and landscape architecture, I approach painting as a spatial practice, translating natural processes and human endeavour into abstract form. Layers of marks accumulate, erode, and resurface, reflecting how landscapes shift, memories settle, and cultural traces persist or disappear.

Time is a quiet but persistent presence in my work. Through the deliberate use of layered material, I invite slower viewing, allowing meaning to emerge through sustained attention and time.
