ABOUT THE WORK
With the use of colour as my
voice, I aim to embark on a journey inward. I strive to close the gap between
the seen and the unseen, the told and the untold. At the centre of my artistic
journey with this project, rests a deep sense of connectedness, as a sort of
communion with oneself and the world around us; both manifested and
unmanifested. The work exists as a reminder of the existence of a realm of
mystery and wonder inside every being, asking to be discovered; in there we can
find an infinite source of imagination and authenticity that unlocks our primal,
instinctive and creative human nature.
