My practice centres on neo-expressionist figurative drawing and painting, exploring the complexities of identity, memory, psychological tension, and the unseen forces that shape human experience. Through intricate line work, graphic abstraction, and expressive mark-making, I create figures that exist between fragmentation and wholeness, strength and vulnerability.
I explore memory as something fluid, layered, and constantly evolving rather than as a fixed record of the past. Through distorted anatomies, fragmented forms, and psychological symbolism, I investigate how experiences are carried within the body and mind, shaping our sense of self over time. My figures often appear suspended between emergence and dissolution, reflecting the way memories can remain vivid, become obscured, or transform through lived experience.
Dense networks of lines act as traces of memory, emotion, and connection, mapping internal landscapes that are often hidden beneath the surface. Symbolic elements and recurring motifs function as visual metaphors for resilience, loss, transformation, and self-perception, revealing both personal and collective narratives. These forms create a visual language that speaks to the complexities of remembering and forgetting, and to the emotional residue that remains long after an experience has passed.
Balancing figuration with abstraction, I am interested in the tension between control and chaos, visibility and concealment. Rather than depicting the human figure as a fixed representation, I approach it as a vessel for emotion, psychological states, and subconscious truths. Through layered compositions and expressive mark-making, I create psychological spaces where memory can be felt rather than simply observed.
My work invites viewers to engage with the complexity of the human psyche and reflect on their own experiences of identity, vulnerability, and resilience. Through a contemporary neo-expressionist approach, I seek to challenge conventional representations of the body and mind, offering a space for contemplation on how memory, experience, and emotion continue to shape who we are.
