Exploring the Beauty in the Everyday
My work explores the ordinary objects that fill our daily lives, capturing their inherent beauty and emotional resonance through bold, abstract forms and vibrant colours. Using acrylic and cold wax on paper, I reimagine familiar items—cups, fruit, bottles, and flowers—by layering textures, expressive lines, and unexpected compositions.
In my recent series, including pieces like Wine and Coffee, Citrus, Three Roses, and Beverages, I experiment with abstraction and figurative elements to highlight everyday objects' textures, colours, and shapes. These works are not mere representations but expressions of the emotions and memories these objects evoke.
By juxtaposing recognizable forms with dynamic mark-making and depth, I invite viewers to pause and appreciate the overlooked details in their surroundings. My paintings encourage a deeper connection with daily life's simple yet profound moments through this interplay of structure and spontaneity.
