ARTIST Q&A

  • How would you describe your artistic style?

    My current work lives at the intersection of raw figurative abstraction, neo-expressionism, and deconstructed cubism. I focus on fragmenting the human figure to capture psychological depth, shifting perspectives, and raw emotion. My paintings are defined by visceral contrasts, layered textures, bold earth tones (deep colors, charcoal blacks), and instinctive, sharp linear mark-making that carves through the composition.

  • What inspires the recurring fragmented faces and layered profiles in your work?

    My visual language originates from graffiti. The way I construct forms, shadows, and depth comes directly from spray techniques . Layering, gradients, and controlled transitions. Rather than painting literal portraits, I approach the canvas as a map of the inner self. The human mind is rarely static or singular; we are composed of overlapping memories, thoughts, and conflicting emotions. Superimposing profiles, split features, and gestural white contour lines allows me to depict multiple states of consciousness simultaneously. It is an exploration of identity, vulnerability, and human complexity.

  • How does graffiti still influence your paintings today?

    Graffiti is present in the way I think about form and impact. The shadows, the outlines, the way colors interact are all inherited from that background. Even though the work is now painted on canvas, the logic of construction remains rooted in urban practice , building depth, asserting presence, and making the image stand on its own.

  • What mediums and techniques do you use in your recent pieces?

    I work predominantly with mixed media on canvas and heavy archival paper. My process combines acrylics for dynamic base layers and color blocking, oil sticks for rich, tactile mark-making, as well as graphite, pastels, and charcoal. I build the surface through a cycle of layering, scraping back, and redefining forms with bold, spontaneous linework.

  • What role does texture and spontaneous mark-making play in your process?

    It is fundamental. Texture gives the painting physical weight and history , it records the time, pressure, and energy spent on the surface. The distinct white and colored outlines serve as a graphic framework: they break the form apart and tie the chaotic layers back together, creating balance between raw expression and structural intention.

  • Do you accept commissions ?

    Yes, I accept a limited number of commissions each year. If you have a specific scale, palette, or space in mind that aligns with my current visual direction, please submit an inquiry via the [Contact] page to discuss concepts and availability.

  • Where can I purchase available original paintings?

    All available original works can be viewed and acquired directly through the [Available Works / Originals] section of this website. I also regularly offer select pieces through auctions on Catawiki.
