RECOGNITION
I feel a strong urge to harmonise and beautify the world I live in and do this by creating paintings and rich, multi-layered mixed media artworks.
I’m mostly portraying glamorous woman who want to seduce the viewer into getting to know them and their stories. Inviting viewers to self-reflect and explore the limitless possibilities of their minds. Encouraging dialogue and giving people permission to share thoughts, feelings, ideas and impressions that they might not ordinarily share. Asking for time out of our busy lives to reflect on something other than our daily existences.
Through the frequent use of gold and blue, two strong colors to which both spiritual and worldly qualities are associated, these women ask to be seen.
The bigger-than-life characters result in pieces that feel familiar and strange at once.
