Artists Statement 

​

It is with an inbuilt fascination of medical imagery that my practice revolves around the historic and symbiotic relationship between art and medicine. My research has led me to St. Bartholomew’s hospital, London where I attend cardiac surgeries, documenting my experiences through photography and sound, capturing the profound intensity of the operating theatre, which I translate into paintings that blend both qualitative and quantitative observations. 

​

The visual language draws inspiration from a lifelong passion for the baroque, the opulent beauty of the Renaissance, and the limitless realms of surrealism.  My work explores themes of the temporality, and fragility of life, self-destruction and rebirth. Blending this with my own contemporary insights and life encounters, to create a distinctive and unique artistic style.

I work primarily in oils, blending bold expressive mark making with pockets of graphic detail, playing with both sympathetic and parasympathetic imagery. I consider the works to resemble abstract poetry, as metaphors and symbolism create thought provoking possibilities.
