For over two decades, my practice has explored a single question: what connects us across the distances we create between ourselves? Through hyper-surrealist portraiture, sculpture, and printmaking, I examine the liminal spaces where personal narrative becomes collective memory, where individual displacement speaks to universal human movement.
I usually work at large scale—canvases that demand physical space and refuse to be glanced past. I feel compelled to photo-realistic precision but the surreal always creeps in, so that subjects inhabit worlds of impossible colour, pattern, or proportion. This is the hyper-real strangeness of lived experience when transformation forces us to see ourselves anew.
My collaborative practice began by addressing representation: working with models from diverse backgrounds to create portraits shaped by dialogue rather than assumption. As artists from previously marginalised communities have claimed their right to self-representation, my work has pivoted to examine my own position within the broader human narrative.
I am now an active participant in one of humanity's oldest experiences: migration. Having recently relocated to a new continent, I find myself living though the transition that has always underpinned my understanding of humanity. My current work examines migration as foundational human practice—the continuous process through which belonging gets made and remade across generations.
After twenty years of professional practice, art fairs and international exhibitions, I face the choice every mature artist confronts: repeat what has proven successful, or risk growth. I choose to let my practice be transformed by the same forces I've always painted—the forces that reshape us when we move through the world with openness to what we might become.
