The artist works primarily with oil paint, exploring human emotional states through the body, intimacy and landscape. At the centre of the practice is desire, understood not simply as longing for another person or object, but as an expression of human subjectivity: a force through which the self becomes aware of its needs, boundaries and relationship to others.

​

In the figurative paintings, gestures of touch, proximity and embrace reveal the unstable emotional dynamics between individuals. Faces and bodies are often cropped, blurred or partially concealed, allowing intimacy to remain unresolved. Desire appears through closeness and distance, connection and separation, tenderness and control. Rather than illustrating idealised romance, these works examine the traces that emotional encounters leave upon the individual.

​

Recent landscape paintings extend this enquiry from interpersonal relationships to the human relationship with nature. Moonlight, water, fields and wind become spaces in which solitude, memory and longing can be experienced. Although the human figure may be absent, the landscape contains evidence of a human presence: a way of being situated within nature and, more broadly, within the world.

​

The artist draws on the materials, colours and recurring motifs of classical painting to articulate contemporary emotional experience. Oil paint is important not only for its physical qualities, but also for its historical endurance. Through a medium that carries its own sense of time, the artist seeks to create paintings that remain as records and witnesses of human existence.
