About The Artwork

My artwork show darkness and light through mediums of oils ,acrylic and photography . A lot of my references come from graffiti artists such as Jean Michel baisquit , Henry Moore, Freda Kahlo, and photography geniuses such as Ansell Adams and Henri Cartier-Bresson. As an artist it’s a difficult thing to come up with creative inspiring artwork that reference to the mental state of minds all viewers see. Throughout my canvas and photography work I have felt it has helped through recent years the postpartum depression isolation from having children to the escape needed from the constant pressure of society to be pigeon holed into a group. Of mother. Of Lover. Of child. Not of emotions and the symbolic elements that enrages and engages the energies that seems to devour our lives. From a multi cultured background of Mauritius immigrants and a first generation British born Mauritian born in the latter part of the 1980s prejudice, creed and race played a major issue in my development as an artist. From watching people being beaten up because of the colour of their skin, to being told where to sit , what to eat , wear etc. Being a prisoner in a world that is supposed to be free and full of choices. Choices are a mis conception as you are shown the choice of free life until you experience the construction of society on an Asian female. Freedom isn’t being able just to have an education but being able to use it apply it. The social norms placed on women and again women is different from what you are told or supposed to thinks. As a woman modern society particularly asian expectations are you are: a daughter, wife, mother and child bearing! All in that order ! Shame and honour are seemly the parts that are the most important thing in the culture! A lot of my abstract paintings reflect to anger , self being, a being, colour and black beasty beauty. My artwork helps to express the conditions and contrast of light, dark, complementary pallets and bold shapes. Or just energy in the abstract to simulation of simulacras. .

Artist Profile: Exploring Light and Darkness As an artist, I navigate the intricate dance between light and darkness, weaving emotions and symbolism into my canvas and photography. My work is a testament to the human experience, capturing the raw essence of existence. Mediums and Inspirations: Oils and Acrylics: These versatile mediums allow me to explore depth, texture, and emotion. With each brushstroke, I delve into the interplay of light and shadow. Photography: Through my lens, I freeze moments—fragments of reality that reveal hidden narratives. Photography, like painting, is a dance between light and darkness. Influences: Graffiti Artists: Jean-Michel Basquiat’s rebellious spirit infuses my work. His raw energy and unapologetic expression inspire me. Henry Moore’s sculptural forms also resonate—they evoke both strength and vulnerability. Photography Geniuses: Ansel Adams: His mastery of black and white landscapes taught me to find beauty in simplicity. Henri Cartier-Bresson: His “decisive moment” philosophy reminds me that life unfolds in fleeting instants. The Struggle Within: My canvas and lens have been my refuge. They’ve witnessed my battles: Postpartum Depression: Isolation, exhaustion—the aftermath of childbirth. Art became my lifeline, pulling me from the abyss. Societal Pressures: The relentless pigeonholing—mother, lover, child. But I am more—an intricate web of emotions, desires, and dreams. Cultural Tapestry: Mauritius Immigrants: My roots trace back to this vibrant island. Prejudice and race shaped my perspective. I saw skin beaten by hatred, heard voices silenced by norms. Asian Female: A world of choices, yet constraints. Education isn’t freedom; it’s the power to break chains. I defy expectations: daughter, wife, mother—yes, but also a canvas of complexities. Abstract Expressions: My paintings rage with anger, whisper self-discovery, and pulse with life. They are: Being: The struggle to exist authentically. Color: Vibrant and muted hues, mirroring our emotional spectrum. Black Beasty Beauty: Darkness isn’t void; it’s fertile ground for growth. Light and Dark: My art mirrors existence—the chiaroscuro of our souls. I juxtapose light against shadows, creating a symphony of contrasts. In each stroke, I find solace, rebellion, and truth. Conclusion: My canvas is my sanctuary, where light pierces through darkness and where I invite viewers to explore their own depths.
