_________________________

My artistic style blends vibrant, abstract expressionism with narrative-driven imagery, often centred around animals as my main subjects. I focus on bold colours, exaggerated features, and dynamic brushstrokes to evoke emotional intensity while maintaining a playful, whimsical tone. Each of my paintings is unique, visually and emotionally, as I integrate short poems directly into the composition. These poems add layers of meaning, inviting the viewer into a deeper narrative experience.

I like to think of my work as part of a movement I call "Narrative Expressionism." It’s an approach that bridges the gap between abstract art and storytelling. Using colour and form, I aim to capture raw emotion and energy, while the accompanying text provides a reflective, poetic interpretation. In my art, the viewer is drawn into a visual and literary dialogue, where image and text play off one another to create a unified emotional experience.

By combining spontaneity and expression with thoughtful reflection, my art becomes a window into a world where abstraction and narrative seamlessly intertwine.
