About The Artwork
"English Horror Story" is a riveting oil painting that offers a chilling yet compelling portrayal of a moment that occurred during my student days in York. I found myself taken aback one day when I was wandering the city's quaint streets and chanced upon a doll shop's window display. The sight of over fifty diverse dolls, with varying attires and skin tones, all arranged together, simultaneously looking at me, was shockingly eerie. What was supposed to be a cute and innocent ensemble of dolls provoked an unexpected sense of dread in me, evoking a strangely beautiful aesthetic of horror. I captured that instant in this piece, transforming the scene's uncanny terror into a tangible image. As a woman, these dolls held an even deeper level of terror for me – a symbolic representation of my fear of childbirth. They echo a collective nightmare among many women, the dread of being shackled by motherhood, the prospect of having our freedom curtailed. In their eyes, one could glimpse the potential transformation of the sweet innocence of babies into chains that bind women in societal expectations. This painting, "English Horror Story", might seem to depict a seemingly innocuous moment at first glance, but a closer look reveals a profound commentary on womanhood, freedom, and societal norms - a hauntingly beautiful piece that compels viewers to ponder deeper beneath its surface.

As an artist, I am imbued with a passion for observing and discerning the subtleties of life. In the realm of existence, nothing is immutable; everything is in a constant state of flux and evolution. I listen to my breath, observe my surroundings with an ardent gaze, and touch each fleeting moment with the sensitivity of my soul. My aspiration is to use myself as the brush, painting deeply into my artistic endeavors all that I observe, all that I feel, all the vibrations of each moment, and the intricacies of life. These ever-changing instants, these unique scenes that belong both to me and to the world, represent my dialogue with the universe and my method of narrating life through art. What I seek is not solely a unique artistic style, but to authentically record my life, my feelings, and my world in my works.
