Reductionism is an approach to understanding complex things by reducing them to the interaction of their parts or to a more fundamental thing. The Holism approach is the opposite and states that the properties of a thing cannot be determined by its component parts alone, instead the whole determines significantly how the component parts behave. I use both approaches to harmonize my artwork which in turn simplifies both the creation process and the finished article. Reductionism is first used to simplify my ideas so that they keep their original character and meaning but so the viewer can more easily engage with and understand what I am trying to convey. In keeping, all my artwork is geared towards achieving the desired effect in the most simple way possible utilising simple lines, bold colours and space. The unique aspect is that I combine art and poetry as one. I do this in a holistic manner so that all the components of the image design merge and complement each other in a modern and stylistic manner. This ensures that the viewer does not notice the different components within the image but instead is hit by an understanding of the image in its entirety.

Continuos and enlightening
