Statement

I paint because I don’t want to lose the stories I’ve gathered over the years — the faces, the emotions, and the quiet moments that connect us all. My work focuses on the everyday — not the masks we wear, but the feelings we hide and the moments we share.

 Every painting reflects something of me — memories, reflections, and perspective. I focus on faces as every one tells a unique story. 

My paintings are bold, layered, and colourful because life is. My Statement Art is about connection — seeing, feeling, and remembering the subtle threads that bind us, the shared human experiences that are often unspoken.

Through my work, I aim to create a space where viewers can engage emotionally, reflect on their own lives, and experience the intimacy of everyday human connection.

Layered.  Honest., Alive.

Each  work is painted on a professional canvas which unfolds in three layers over time. Each applied using a variety of methods, and mediums, and often in unconventional ways. Its a modern twist on how some of the Masters used to paint using underpainting  (Grisaille) and glazing to give depth and feeling.

The First Layer is Charcoal 

Its how I capture the the first impressions of someone. A fluid process that allows me to move the subject around capturing small elements that make a difference.  

The Second Layer Is Acrylics – The Mask We Wear 

Here I paint in bold contrasting colours, unlike the Masters (they used to use black and white mainly) and play with light, dark and dramatic tones. I try and capture the false faces we all present to the world

Lastly I Use Oils  – The Emotions That Connect Us All

I love using oils to glaze. Its where I can alter the context of the face to explore the emotions of the subject. Distorting the onlookers view to create interest.

Over the years, I treated my boardrooms across Europe and communal areas like galleries — hanging my paintings where conversations began, connections were made, and sales followed. I have held solo exhibitions in Kent and Frankfurt, and completed numerous commissions and produced a book.

In October 2025, I exhibited at The Other Art Fair, Shoreditch, London.
