ARTISTIC INSPIRATION SURROUNDS US—IN BOTH THE PHYSICAL WORLD WE OBSERVE AND IN DEEPER, HIDDEN LAYERS BENEATH IT. I TRY TO DRAW REFERENCE FROM BOTH REALMS, USING EVERYDAY OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES AS CREATIVE CATALYSTS TO EXPLORE NEW EXPRESSIONS AND ABSTRACT IDEAS. THROUGH MY WORK, I AIM TO CREATE POWERFUL, VISUALLY STRIKING ART THAT SPARKS CURIOSITY AND INVITES VIEWERS TO DISCOVER DETAILS THAT THEY MAY HAVE PREVIOUSLY OVERLOOKED. MY GOAL IS NOT SIMPLY TO CREATE “ART FOR ART’S SAKE”, BUT TO CRAFT RICH VISUAL EXPERIENCES THAT RESONATE LONG AFTER THE INITIAL ENCOUNTER.

MY PAINTING APPROACH IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE PROCESS ITSELF, WHICH ENABLES ME TO FOCUS ON ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS SUCH AS COLOUR, SHAPE, SCALE, TEXTURE, AND COMPOSITION—LIBERATING ME FROM SPECIFIC STYLES, CONCEPTS OR SUBJECT MATTER. THIS METHOD FREES MY MIND AND ENCOURAGES GREATER CREATIVE FREEDOM AND EXPRESSION.

I WORK IN BOTH TRADITIONAL AND DIGITAL FORMATS—USING ACRYLIC ON CANVAS FOR TRADITIONAL PIECES AND A STYLUS PEN ON TABLET FOR DIGITAL WORK. OFTEN, I BEGIN WITH A DIGITAL SKETCH THAT I TRANSLATE ONTO CANVAS, OR I START WITH A HAND-DRAWN SKETCH THAT I REFINE DIGITALLY. EACH TECHNIQUE OFFERS ITS OWN ADVANTAGES, AND WHEN I FEEL FATIGUED WITH ONE METHOD, I SWITCH TO THE OTHER TO REFRESH MY CREATIVE ENERGY.

MY ARTISTIC CAREER HAS BEEN A LIFELONG PURSUIT OF AN INDESCRIBABLE CREATIVE VISION—ONE THAT I WILL CONTINUE TO PASSIONATELY FOLLOW AS IT UNFOLDS THROUGH HARD WORK, TIME, AND PERSEVERANCE.
