I am interested in the amalgamation of abstraction and representation: a liminal space encompassing a fusion of subject disciplines. Organic material analysis is a part of my exploration process and I use organic imagery as my inspiration. My newer works extend organic forms into abstracted spaces and landscapes that play with depth, lines, and layers. The work evolves during the painting process. I am interested in creating a push-pull interaction, a lively tension between the features representing spaces, and those that signify shapes as compositional elements.
Color impacts how I integrate organic ideas with abstract shapes on the canvas. During my years of studying fine art, I engaged in purposeful colour theory research. My approach to color is influenced by colour masters and theorists like Itten, Albers, Goethe and others. I work with flatness and depth both in my shape development, and the paintings’ spatial components. The colour-shape-space decisions energise and further the oil paintings’ overall compositions.
