I primarily work with pencil and ink for sketches and acrylics for paintings. My sketching process is loose and expressive; I start with rapid, dynamic lines to capture the essence of my subject, refining the form as I go while leaving many of these initial marks visible. This technique imbues my sketches with energy and movement. When using acrylics, I adopt a spontaneous, loose brushstroke approach to take advantage of the medium’s quick-drying properties. This allows me to work intuitively, layering colours and textures to convey a sense of immediacy and freshness in my paintings. Each medium I use reflects my commitment to capturing the vitality and transience of life in my art.
