I am a traditionally trained artist with a Master’s in Fine Art, residing in Melbourne, Australia. Creating art has been my passion since the age of six, making it an integral part of my life. My work explores the realms of expressionism and symbolism, offering a profound interpretation of my surroundings. Through my art, I strive to capture and convey the deeper essence of the world around me, transforming everyday experiences into evocative and thought-provoking pieces.

"The deliberate fusion of historical and modern aesthetics articulates my world and defines my artistic philosophy".

Immersing myself in the world of art has always been a significant aspect of my life. My aim in my work is to bridge the gap between traditional techniques and contemporary artistic expressions by creating and sharing personal narratives that resonate with my world and life experiences. My images serve as a snapshot in time, providing glimpses into the intimate connections I share with my environment. Reflective, expressive, sometimes dark and playful, my art is often characterised by the play of light, limited backdrops or the ethereal essence of expansive landscapes.
