I am using charcoal as both medium and metaphor in order to explore the fragile space between presence and disappearence.
Across all my art works, you can encounter recurring themes of impermanence, chaos, transformation, human vulnerability, synchronicity, Divinity emerges through serendipitously Mark making and tonal depth.
My earlier works investigated the emotional and symbolic dimensions of the human condition often drawing attention to moments that are easily overlooked yet deeply significant.
In my recent works, this inquiry has evolved into a more focused examination of traces. As an artist and curator I am interested in encounters that invite contemplation rather than certainty.
The monochromatic language of charcoal allows me to strip away from distractions and reveal essential emotional and psychological multidimensional landscapes. My practice seeks to transcend fleeting experiences into lasting visual memories encouraging viewers to reflect on their own stories of loss, resilience, belonging and renewal through portaiture, symbolism, atmospheric imagery with KAIROLUME(noun); [kairos (greek word) + lume (from lumen+light)]
