Painter - Artist Statement

My work is always highly focused on the figurative form, portrayed in surreal environments or centralised in a contemplative setting. I use symbolism, or reference, as I create scenes conducted with smooth strokes in vibrant colours, making use of absurdity and irony. I choose to make my works independent surrounded by specific thought, although usually working in series. I am currently making works of immaginative birds being influenced by human society called Nature Vs Nurture.
