Don’t Forget Me

Don’t forget me
Why am I like this?
Happy in the end

ARTIST STATEMENT

I live in unison with my art. It’s a direct relationship from my life, experiences and emotions to a page where it comes to life for others to witness. In my earlier work I typically didn’t feature myself in it, but as I’ve grown I’ve realised the importance of having myself in my work, so I’ve started implementing it as seen in my later collections.

As someone who started out as a traditional artist working with oil paint my style has been heavily inspired by historical eras like the renascence as well as artists like Pablo Picasso, Michelangelo and Leonardo de Vinci.

My work is a representation of emotions we all fee, they say every painting as a soul only the eye can see, can you see it?
