“Evil cuts through the heart of every man”, and I look to paint the lies that people tell me.
The explosive marriage of the violence of death and the beauty of life, through storytelling, holds to be the constitutive aim of inquiry in my work. Drawing inspiration from the Russian literary giants, philosophers from the nineteenth century, and the undeniable power of stories ranging from Greek antiquity to current cinema, I look to understand and re-represent the darker side of humanity with the objectivity of someone like Chekov.
A young artist currently based in the Netherlands, I am selling works internationally to a variety of individuals and institutions, and take commissions in a range of styles.
