Soul Food Painting

I am inspired by women, their sensual, voluptuous lips and the stories they tell. My artworks often explore the relationship between the looks of contemporary women, their strength, and their delicacy, their freedom and their emotions. Red lipstick is so often used to underline the lips as a beautiful facade of eminently personal and original aesthetics. I admire the possibilities of deconstructionism as a medium of the representation of reality. The idea of fragmentation of the object into components and revitalizing it on the canvas or in sculpture, maintaining the harmony and continuity despite the loss of symmetry is crucial to most of my artworks. My artworks reflect the beauty and richness of our diversity expressed in different forms. I play with shape, colour, texture, realism and abstraction, constructing and advocating the positive aesthetics and feminine depiction of my experiences.
