Abstract
This series, currently displayed at the Galeria Azur, Berlin; has been an exploration of the self and the personification of the ‘inner voices’ in the form of varied conversations - entitled ‘The Voices Within’. This series focused specifically on the emotions experienced by individuals during the recent global pandemic and resulting lockdowns; namely – ‘Contradiction’, ‘Serenity’ and ‘Rage’. Each painting allows the viewer to connect to a specific emotion that felt relevant to them; initiating a dialogue with the relevant painting as well as their inner self.
