Artist statement

In my work, I focus on the reductive, honing in on the essence of form and structure. My Aim is to distil complex ideas into simple, coherent expressions. Each piece reflects a deep attention to detail, with every line, shape, and texture serving a purpose. The work is often conceptual, engaging with ideas of space, time, and materiality while maintaining a direct, almost meditative simplicity.
