Artist Statement

My practice investigates the structure of emotional awareness—examining the internal states that shape perception, yet often remain unarticulated. It operates from the premise that much of what we feel is experienced without being fully understood, and seeks to create a framework through which these states can be observed with greater clarity.

Working within abstraction, I use colour and form as a precise visual language to translate intangible emotional experience into spatial composition. Each work emerges through a process that balances intention with intuition. While the initial palette establishes an emotional direction, the composition itself is not predetermined. Instead, it unfolds gradually, allowing the internal state to reveal itself through the act of painting.

Central to the work is a recurring system of geometric forms—primarily squares, rectangles, and cubes. These structures function as an internal architecture, where each unit represents a distinct emotional state. The forms do not exist in isolation; they interact, shift, and reorganise in response to one another, reflecting the dynamic and interdependent nature of human emotion.

The compositions are deliberately structured, yet remain fluid in their evolution. This tension between control and surrender mirrors the attempt to bring order to something inherently complex and unstable. Rather than defining emotion, the work seeks to hold it—creating a space in which it can be examined without reduction.

Positioned between perception and interpretation, each piece functions as an open system. It invites the viewer to engage with their own internal framework, projecting meaning while navigating the relationships embedded within the composition. In this way, the work operates not as a fixed narrative, but as a visual construct through which emotional complexity can be experienced, questioned, and reconfigured.
