Our bodies are moving, changing through the constant ticking of time. Thick navy-blue lines are sculpting each individual body to exaggerate the features of the human figure.  A sway of colourful acrylic pigments as the flesh, layered and mixed. Mark making techniques are used to display flaws, scars and spots. Our bodies are not perfect and they tell us stories, capturing the beauty of raw emotion. The transitions the body goes through from growing with age and change.

My practice emerges from the exploration of self-reflection from memories and raw emotions like Edvard Munch and Frida Kahlo. I am strongly influenced by my surroundings and the people who I build connects with. To paint I must be vulnerable with my emotions, to be fully in touch with them.

My work challenges vulnerability and the pure reality of truth. I present this by the choice of colour composition and delicate decision on body positioning. I believe body language is a universal movement to signal or silently communicate, the tension between emotion and active engagement.

Art should be a community that brings people to discuss and be open with another, to build connections. Human connection is meant to be messy, awkward and embarrassing. We have been taught to keep everything polished, neatly inside the canvas frame, clean and smooth. That is not connection that is a performance. Real connection happens when you say the thing you are most afraid to say.

The bodies are a bundle of bottled-up emotions, exploding with passion. The body swirls in endless colours… those colours keep making, you for who you are. Sometimes people can see your colours too.
