Artist Statement
As an experienced visual artist, I spend a lot of time observing different art styles. I work in different techniques, exploring subjects that are interesting to me and experimenting with mediums that suit me. I realized that my passion is portraying different perspectives of ordinary subjects, because the artist’s interpretation is the heart of the creative process. In pursuit of this, much of my recent work portrays wildlife and historical architecture.
With a balance of shapes, colours, and tonal values, I strive to depict the suggestion of details from the gestalt. Simple designs are often challenging to create. Simplicity, clarity, and stylization are characteristics that I am passionate about conveying into art.
