As a human race we spend many hours looking into the faces of others, but often we miss the true depth of character by merely focusing on the obvious contours. Through my artwork I conceptualise not only the facial features, but also the life journey behind the mask. Many suggest that the eyes are the window to the soul, but through the vibrant use of colour, I create a reflection of the life experiences and the journey my portrait subjects have travelled.
Having been inspired by The ‘Pop Art’ movement I am motivated to paint portraits of poets, idols and icons in oil or acrylic, using bold brush strokes of contrasting colour that delineate the inner psyche of my subject.
