“Light, likeness and mood. These are the three recurring elements of my work. The perfect contrast of dark and light transforms a figure or scene, creating a mood not otherwise imagined. The use of oils built in layers is my preferred medium, my compositions mostly figurative with a narrative. I would describe my work as realism with a twist, often disrupting the image in some shape or form. I draw great inspiration from past masters of Classicism to Contemporary, and am influenced by the visual effects of film noir.”
