Artist Bio

I use colour to define the architectural qualities and the spirit of a space and am interested in the way aspects of decoration and colour can have an impact upon us. Most of my paintings and drawings form part of an ongoing series exploring spatial ideas.

Whilst my practice ranges in scale from site-specific wall paintings and room-sized spatial installations to paintings and drawings, there is a clear coherence and dialogue across my body of work through its continual referencing and engagement with ideas about architecture and space and its characteristic use of abstract geometric forms, fields and lines of intense colour, juxtaposed with one another. Like the wall paintings respond to the actual site they are located in, so do many of my paintings and drawings respond to writings or historical artworks, often connected to the ideas and visions of Modernism.

What I enjoy the most in painting is that with colour you can add an abstract layer to reality. Abstract not only in the tradition of abstract painting - I mean abstract as something that has no clear use or is not meant to be something - but also it adds a layer of space which becomes active.

Selected Work

Name: Composition with Orange Circle

The work explores spatial ideas through abstract geometric forms, fields, and lines of intense colour. Engaging with architecture and Modernist visions, the paintings and drawings respond to sites, texts, or historical artworks. Colour is used to add an abstract, active layer to space—transforming perception through decorative and structural resonance.
