Artist Statement




My practice is evolving, but currently centres on the transformative dialogue between shadow and light. I use oil paint on paper to explore the dynamic spaces where healing becomes transcendence. Through the delicate medium of paper, which is vulnerable yet resilient.

The choice to work with oil on paper is deliberate and symbolic. Paper, typically fragile and temporary, becomes a metaphor for the human experience, capable of absorbing profound depth while maintaining its essential fragility. The oil paint seeps into the fibres, creating an irreversible communion between medium and surface, much like how healing penetrates the layers of our being.
