ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Inspired by Portuguese street artists who are often political, the street art on the pink building is an interpretation of their style. Referencing the Portuguese ‘Age of Discovery’ I highlight how this history shaped the diversity of Portuguese culture. Adapting Hokasai’s wave, I present Portuguese ships dominating the seas. The ocean is filled with authentic masks from Portuguese colonies and represent indigenous peoples. The Portuguese maritime expedition is shown as a tsunami enveloping everything in its path and hints at colonisation, exploitation and enslavement. The deliberately ornate architecture reminds us that it was the conquering of nations that led to grandiose buildings and a history of wealth and riches in Lisbon. Clothes and textiles decorated with indigenous patterns hang from the balconies, figures wear indigenous masks and the man is looking at his phone; these details serve to link colonial ancestry to modern society to celebrate Portuguese multiculturalism. This painting is framed with a white box frame and conservation non-reflective glass. The framed dimensions are 101cm W x 98cm H.

I am a London based artist currently working in watercolour. Having lived in Indonesia and New Orleans, I have developed an appreciation for other cultures which I include in my work. Inherently a city person, this is where I am the happiest so it is no surprise that I have focused my lense on ‘urban life’. My work illustrates the city as a living, breathing thing in all its grot and glory by exploring its buildings, streets and people. By including figures in my work, I present a window into the lives of strangers. I attempt to lure the on-looker in and ask them to wonder about the interactions in the scene and to be curious about the lives of these individuals. I am interested in history and tie the past to the present by referencing historical moments and individuals, commenting on the importance of looking back and to consider how our past continues to shape and influence us. Finally, my work seeks to record our current history, a snap-shot of contemporary urban culture. Recent success includes being shortlisted for RA Summer Exhibition 2019, finalist for Sunday Times Watercolour Competition 2019 and shortlisted for Secret Art Prize 2018.
