Painting
My work is a reflection of my fascination with the fragmented, grid-like patterns found in nature which I use to abstractly capture the essence of landscapes, horizons and the notion of journeys and migration. The use of lines intersects and intertwines the surface, offering journeys and paths for the viewer to enter and engage with the pictorial space. I draw inspiration from the colours, forms, and the rich textures found in “rewilded” landscapes then translate these elements into abstract compositions that evoke feelings of exploration and interconnectedness with nature.
