My paintings are an exploration into the life and soul of humanity and often blur the line between abstraction and reality as I express raw and deep emotions on the canvas. This can be in the form of a portrait showing emotion, a figurative work exploring the effects of life on a body or an abstract expressionist work involving strong words and phrases, sometimes hidden, sometimes less so. Ultimately, the aim of my work is to capture my thoughts and feelings during the act of creation (i.e my soul) and even more than this, the effect that life has on other people too like a visual diary of the current affairs. This enables my work to be both contemporary and abstract at the same time.
MEDIUMS USEDMy works consist of acrylic and oil paints, graphite, spray paint and other mixed media. Tools such as brushes and palette knives are used to move paint around the canvas, at times even items like bubble wrap, wood and sandpaper are also used to create unusual marks and texture.
