Biography
My main vision as an artist is to explore the profound connection between humanity and the natural world through a lens of enchantment and mysticism. My work, often described as magical realism, merges the beauty and complexity of flora, fauna, and animals with elements that evoke a sense of wonder and otherworldliness. Through my art, I strive to evoke a sense of awe and connection, inviting others to see the magic in the world around them.
inspiration
I draw inspiration from a variety of sources, each deeply intertwined with my passion for nature and the mystical. Folklore and myths have always been a central influence, with their rich stories about nature's spirits, sacred animals, and ancient deities that guard and shape the world around us. The connection between humans and the animal kingdom, as well as the supernatural, is something that I feel resonates deeply in my own work. In addition to folklore and personal history, I often use the language of flowers—floriography—as a way to infuse hidden meanings into my work. Each flower, with its unique symbolism, becomes a tool for conveying unspoken emotions, messages, or stories that lie just beneath the surface of the imagery.
medium
I work with a variety of mediums, including oils, acrylics, watercolours, and gouache, each chosen for its unique qualities to express the vibrant, magical realism in my paintings. Oils allow me to create rich, layered textures with depth and luminosity, perfect for capturing intricate details. Acrylics, with their bold pigmentation and fast drying time, help me craft energetic, high-contrast elements that reflect nature's vibrancy. Watercolours and gouache’s opaque finish gives me the ability to create rich, saturated hues and smooth textures. I also incorporate metallic colours like gold and silver to give an added sense of enchantment.
Colour plays a central role in my work, and I often joke that I can't make dark and moody art, however much I try!
