After my solo exhibition in August 2021, I took a short break from the studio with the idea of coming back with fresh new ideas. It was easier said than done but I think I am back on the right path and ready to move on. I am constantly trying to push my work and challenge myself to seeing what direction it takes me in. I don’t like to paint the same way or stuff all the time. I’m keeping a promise to myself after my last series, to go back to a looser and less refined process in new work heading into 2022. Especially after the past two years with on and off lockdowns and restrictions. I think ..read more

Current times made me re-look at this painting that I painted a small few weeks back. Art and music are more than ever so important right now. I don’t want to mention the, what I think is now the new ‘C’ word. There is too much negativity out there right now and these times are really hard to comprehend for most. I’m an optimist and to push back anxieties and that, art and nature have always been the only way for me. So anyway.. I still don’t know what to think of this painting.. I had this urge to paint something large scale one evening and I had no large canvases left in my studio. I w ..read more
