"Z06" Fine Art Print

My work is fundamentally cantered on exploring the human form and character. I find nothing
more interesting than this. I seek to capture the character and essence of the
subject; at other times, I construct a fictitious narrative—developed
in collaboration with the subject. In the end, I believe a
person’s character always comes through, but whether that is the case or not
that should not matter on the final result, the work shall speak for it self.

I like to believe that the influence of architecture,
photography, my cultural background, and personal influences are visibly
present in my painting style.


I intentionally avoid assigning decipherable titles or providing literal
explanations. It is important to me that each viewer approaches the work
without external guidance, forming their own interpretations based solely on
the visual and emotional experience. Today, discourse, statements, and
fabricated personas are often prioritised over the actual work itself. As a result,
the constructed “persona” has, regrettably, come to overshadow the true
substance of what anyone produces.
I understand that this approach runs counter to much of the advice commonly
given to gain visibility. But if we cannot remain true to our principles in creative
endeavours, then what, ultimately, do we have left?
