My work is an exploration and celebration of nature's quiet moments — those fleeting instances of stillness and subtle beauty that often go unnoticed. Through layers of spray paint, oil paint, and stencils of foraged plant material, I create intricate compositions that emphasize the delicate interplay of light and shadow.

Starting with a monochromatic base, I build depth and contrast, allowing forms to emerge organically. My process is deeply intuitive, reflecting both the structured patterns of nature and its unpredictable spontaneity. Minimalism plays a central role in my work, distilling each scene to its essence and inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and immerse themselves in a moment of tranquillity.

By capturing these serene and introspective spaces, I strive to create a sense of stillness amid the fast pace of modern life, fostering a deeper appreciation for nature's quiet presence. My work continues to evolve as I experiment with layering spray paint in both the background and foreground, exploring the interplay of minimal colour palettes and natural objects.

This ongoing exploration allows me to refine my technique while deepening the connection between art and the organic world.
