Primarily working in oils, my art is figurative realism with a hint of surrealism.
My art is about desires, aspirations and dreams. The threads of light and darkness to my paintings evolve usually to what’s happening in my life at the time. Inspired by emotions or observations of the world around me I like to tell stories in a metaphoric visual sense and express the rhythm and beat of life. The viewer may relate to them in their own way with their interpretations. |
