Statement

In our world, everything seems to be scripted or staged. We use these things to distract and misinform. This includes false news, media interference, etc. so it's difficult to know what is real or not. In this new world order, the norm is out of whack but the simple everyday experiences continue.

My work is a combination of painting and drawing that conveys a pictorial language with concrete statements hidden within. My paintings are characterized by quick, fluid brush strokes and drawing often with figures in a cartoon-like appearance. I view the cartoon as my best weapon against the intellectual concept of what highbrow cultural art is all about. I am continually changing and experimenting in my work. My work is never static and this element offers resistance and creates obstacles to interpretation thereby making sure that things are not as they should be. This method creates a sense of realism, instead of a typical representation. My use of vibrant colours in my work enhances my aim and my belief that art is one of the most truthful things today. .
