I Glistening abstracts, pleasing patterns and earthy hues amalgamate to form harmonic visuals in my paintings. As if an archaeological survey, my paintings are layered to give the impression of a pulp of animated objects, curled up together to bring life to the idea. As if barks of perception were cut and collaged together to perfection in good light. Calm settles hues that speak in paint, ideas translated onto a canvas with spirit and gait. My patterns curve and swirl to illustrate the intricacies of my endeavours, I confess to be having an urge to rise above the materialistic humanness, containing myself to the same sphere.
