I’m a London-based artist working across painting and mixed media, using both physical and digital methods in different ways. Most of my work is rooted in making by hand, especially through oil painting on wood panel. I like working into the surface and treating it as something active, building texture with materials like wood filler, then scraping back, burning into it, layering over it, and reworking things as I go.

My process is quite intuitive. I don’t really like forcing a piece into a fixed plan, and I’m usually more interested in letting it shift as it develops. I’m drawn to surfaces that feel worn, handled, and worked through, where the texture and marks carry their own kind of weight instead of just supporting the image.

I also use digital drawing and sketching, but more as a separate creative space than a starting point for everything. It helps me think differently and lets me explore another side of the work without replacing the physical process. Colour and tone are important to me because they shape the atmosphere of a piece. I often lean towards darker, more muted palettes, but I like allowing softer or warmer moments to come through as well. That contrast helps keep the work open and gives it a certain presence.

I’m interested in making images that carry emotional weight without explaining themselves too much. A lot of the work comes back to the silence of witnesses in contemporary life, and to the way we live within systems, routines, and comforts that are often tied to suffering somewhere else. I’m interested in that quiet tension – the feeling of knowing something is wrong, even when nothing is being said directly. In my work, silence is not just absence or passivity. It can suggest awareness, unease, and the weight of living alongside things people have learned to ignore.
