My journey as an artist has taken a new turn in the last few years, leading me from the realm of photography into the captivating world of abstract painting. While I have long identified as a photographic artist, my recent explorations into abstraction have ignited a passion within me that I cannot ignore.The catalyst for this shift came during a period of renovating a room in my ancient home. As layers of paint and plaster were peeled away, revealing centuries of history in intricate patterns and textures, I found myself captivated by the raw beauty of these remnants of time. While I initially incorporated photographs of these discoveries into my work as texture layers, I soon realized that these abstract compositions deserved to take centre stage. So began my experimentation with paint and mixed media, a journey marked by discovery, intuition, and a deep connection to the creative process.
