STATEMENT
My art is about contemporary subjects; it is critical and social. I use images to talk about things, to start conversations, to highlight issues, to invite debate.
Over the past five years I have been continually exploring the idea of mythology and narrative through drawings and paintings addressing the mythological experience of transformation
