This practice explores human presence via light, color, and gesture. Working from observation, the artist captures figures in fleeting psychological states—moments of stillness, vulnerability, and reflection.

Technique & Influence:

Chiaroscuro: Echoing Caravaggio, dramatic light pulls sculptural forms from ambiguous shadows.

Visceral Portraits: Influenced by Freud and Saville, the artist treats faces as landscapes where texture carries emotional weight.

Still Life: Everyday objects provide a quiet counterpart, channeling Morandi’s focus on atmosphere and balance.

Ultimately, these paintings create an intimate encounter, making the viewer conscious of both the subject and the act of looking itself.
