ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This portrait has been shortlisted for The Herbert Smith Freehills Award (formerly BP Portrait Award) in cooperation with The National Portrait Gallery. It has made it to the final 50, which will be displayed in The National Portrait Gallery from 11th July until 27th October In my self-portrait, I sought to encapsulate the essence of those fleeting, undocumented moments within the confines of my studio. The inspiration behind the piece stemmed from a profound desire to immortalize the often overlooked, yet crucial, aspects of the creative process—the moments that slip through the cracks of memory and documentation.

I am a self-taught artist who seeks to weave threads of memory, emotion, and nostalgia into the fabric of my work. My still life paintings are not merely representations, but rather, they are poignant narratives that echo with the reverberations of life lived and experienced. My work bridges two worlds – the vibrancy of my Caribbean roots and the eclectic energy of my London life. This duality becomes a prism through which the familiar is seen in a new light, and the mundane is transformed into the extraordinary. I seek to capture the often-overlooked beauty that resides within the everyday – the untold stories of objects, spaces, and moments that silently shape our existence. Through the use of bold colors and assertive brush strokes, I strive to convey the life force pulsating within these silent observers. Each painting is an attempt to arrest a fleeting moment, to harness its energy, and transpose it onto canvas, creating a conduit through which the viewer may reconnect with their own past and present.My art, at its core, is an homage to the beauty and richness of life. Each brushstroke, each burst of color, is a celebration, an exuberant declaration of life's vibrancy. I believe that art has the power to evoke profound emotions, to heal, to connect, and to inspire. It is my hope that those who encounter my work find in it a spark of joy, a ripple of comfort, and a moment of contemplation, thereby fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of their own lived experiences. My work is part of The Soho House Collections at Shoreditch House and Soho Farmhouse Receptions, at 180 The Strand and private collections worldwide.
