Statement
My painting style is a combination of representational imagery and juxtaposed abstracted forms suspended in irregular harmony. Whether its sharp realism or distorted reality, I try to convey a subtle satirical commentary alongside a raw visceral assertion of society and modern culture.
Im particularly interested in the emotional state of mind within the current technologically obsessed world we live in, expressing a tug of war between the two. The dialogue between the abstract swatches and representation in my images are a response to the disparity of our human emotional needs in the current faced-paced, technological age.
My subjects themes mainly revolve around society, culture and philosophy. These themes are what my artistic ideas mostly manifest from.
All my paintings whether expressive or realist depicts an inner angst where the common theme is our conscious inadequacies, moral evasiveness and most importantly, the mental conflicts and pressures of an individual living in the 21st Century.
