‘’I am a Liverpool based artist that specialises in breaking traditional elements of painting which Francisco Goya was a
huge inspiration. I also studied the form of unfinished artworks which helps me see a different world of painting in between
form and lines. I am a mixed media artist that experiments in painting, sculpture and drawing. I am constantly trying to
challenge myself to achieve a unique style. My influences for my imagery go backwards like what intrigued me 10 or 20
years ago mainly film and cinema, I am interested in bringing these influences from the past to the present and mixing
them with modernity.
My artwork consists of found objects that are unwanted, especially old pieces of wood. Then I would create my canvas or
sculpture from scratch before canvas around the piece and painting scenery. My sculpture pieces I class them as 3D
canvas’ as I painting around the sculpture, in a cinematic style. However, my photography I try to capture surrealism as I
think their is a connection to deconstructing the norm of traditional landscape or portraiture.’’
