In earlier works, the artist selected professional models and acquaintances, resulting in paintings that resonated with the intimacy of portraiture. More recently, however, the artist has turned to the rich legacy of the Western art canon, drawing directly from its depictions of the human form. Iconic figures are lifted from their original contexts and reimagined within vibrant, prismatic fields of colour where gravity behaves differently.  Where bodies ascend, weightless and untethered.

Freed from specific identities or moments, these figures exist outside of time and place. They are both familiar and archetypal, less personal, yet more universally resonant. Through this transformation, these familiar symbols are imbued with renewed vitality, recontextualized into narratives that speak of joy, exuberance, and possibility.
