I’ve always had a keen interest in art and have always been doing art on the side. After immigrating to Australia in 2018, I decided to take a break from architecture and focus more on my art.

My approach to art is very architectural. I love to combine the geometric precision of architecture with very textural paint finishes in my work. My works are constructed from painted pieces of timber almost in a similar way as one would build an architectural model.

I plan each artwork digitally, but it is always only a guideline. I decide on a colour palette for a painting and then paint timber boards in various shades and textures. I then laser-cut the background grid and the various geometric shapes. I use my digital composition as a starting point, but then follow a more intuitive strategy of layering the shapes and colours, always aiming to create a sense of balance. It mostly turns out very different from the original concept, but I love how an artwork grows and evolves, and how the unexpected colour combinations and the compositions that happen by accident give an artwork its unique strength.

I like to explore different mediums and use different techniques and tools to create interesting textures in my works. This process of experimentation often leads to new directions.

I like to explore the tensions and dialogue created between different pure geometries. In this process of experimentation, I focus on the space created between various shapes when placed in different compositions. Circular shapes in particular hold a fascination for me as their inherent properties bring energy and movement to a composition.

I like to experiment with different textures in wet paint. This forces me to be more intuitive when trying new things as I usually don’t have a lot of time before the paint dries to think about what I’m going to do next.

To me, geometric abstract works speak to our core emotions as human beings in the most basic & simplest way. There is no distraction or connotation of the recognisable. This frees the mind to experience pure colour, form and composition. In my works I do try to convey a sense of calmness & harmony - colour plays a big part in this.

I believe we all need a connection with nature - even more so if you live in a city. With my works I aim to bring the colours & textures of nature into the homes of collectors, bringing with it a sense of calm & peacefulness.

I use environmentally friendly MDF (Medium Density Fibre) board. Because MDF is constructed primarily from wood fibre, many wood shavings and other portions of the wood that might normally be discarded can instead be recycled into MDF production.
