My work explores the interplay between the human form and nature, merging figurative realism with abstraction.
Fragmented figures emerge and dissolve into flowing natural patterns and textures, reflecting both the disconnection of modern life and the grounding presence of nature. Each painting centres on the subject’s expression and pose, creating a visual dialogue between structure and movement, interruption and harmony.
