I have based my work on the process of drawings, focusing on the different dimensions that drawing and mark-making can represents. It can be expressive and spontaneous or reflective and restrained. My current research concentration is on drawing; its process and potential. My works have a definitive expressionistic quality in them, which has its historical root in German expressionism. I try to capture cultural alienation and root-less experience through my drawing gesture. My ultimate aim is to make images that appropriate different cultural influences but ultimately produces transcending and universal forms. Concentrating on the drawings, I am creating a series of figurative and surrealistic paintings which are fraught with expressionistic quality. Currently the production of my art work is developing along two lines, 1) the creepy crawlers, which are emphatically surrealistic 2) representative, figurative portraits.
