Location: South Africa
I’m a multi-disciplinary artist that explores narratives and
stories of identity, emotion and memory – and the spaces between these subject
matters, and how they in turn they are always linked in some way with each
other.
There is no rule book on life, therefore I believe ART is
everywhere… the ART of Administration or Teaching, the ART of selling… the ART
of exploration and transformation, the ART to live authentically and
unapologetically.
It’s because of this, that I am ART. And ART is Me.
I create to communicate. To use my craft and try make a
difference. Universally abstract, with influences of cubism, surrealism and
post-impressionism, I dwell deep into human psyche and the opposite – novelty.
Whether I create with paint or charcoal, pencil or ink, one strong focus
remains… Your unanswered questions. Whatever they may be. The spaces I
subjectify between identity, memory and emotion should communicate with your
soul, and hopefully make you feel… everything.
It's said that journeys are more important than destinations
in life. Through chromatic symbolism, monochrome expression and unanswered
questions between what was, what is and what will be – it’s my hope that my art
will take you on many different levels of not just one journey, but many.
There is always an element of calm
in the chaotic.
There is always an element of sigh
in all the screams.
There is always an element of hope
in the hopeless.
Where do you find your strength? Where do you fit it? How do
you occupy your space, with memory, emotion and identity?
Because I don’t know. And I hope you don’t either… because it’s
then that we both explore unparalleled journeys… to endless discoveries.
