Roy Chege

Roy is a contemporary artist and ML engineer based in the UK. working professionally in artificial intelligence while pursiong a doctorate in machine learning, he spends much of his life building systems that seek to understand patterns, predictions and human behaviour.

His artwork exists at the opposite end of that spectrum. Through figurative and symbolic paitings, Roy explores identity, memory, resilience and the emotional experiences that resist explanation. His work is less concerned with realism than with capturing psychological states-moments of quiet tension, transformation and reflection.

working primarily with acrylic, oil and spray paint, he layers texture, contrast and restrained colour palletes to create atmospheric peices that invite viewers to pause and project their own experiences onto the work.

Rather than providing answers, each painting asks a question: What remains of us after we have adapted, survived or changed?
