Oil on panel

My work explores the complex layers of identity through figurative painting. My paintings aim to reveal the essence of the individual depicted, by using carefully chosen patterns that represent specific characteristics of their identity. The limited, but vibrant color palette, further highlights who the subjects are and the emotions associated with them. I aim to engage viewers emotionally and intellectually, giving them just enough insight into my subjects to invite them in, allowing them to develop a personal connection with the paintings.
