Bio/ Artist Statement

I am a visual artist based in Naarm, Melbourne. I completed a PhD degree in Computer Science across Visual Art from University of Sydney in 2014. I had the opportunity to learn tonal painting from a family friend between the age of 8 to 14. It became my fondest memory and my fascination for painting has never stopped ever since.

My current practice in painting focuses on the narrative aspects of subject matters and using them for storytelling. I primarily paint in oil, acrylic and at occasion watercolour. I take an interest broadly in portraiture, still life, and landscape that represent or is part of everyday experience.

Artist Statement

Within my art practice, I strive to merge contemporary impressionism with realism, capturing the essence of the world around me on canvas. My inspiration stems from personal experiences, my surroundings, and the stories of those closest to me. These elements serve as the foundation for creating visually compelling and emotionally resonant pieces. I predominantly work with oil and acrylic paints, exploring various subjects including still life, portraits, and landscapes. Through my work, I seek to engage the interplay of light and colour, weaving narratives and symbolism that connect deeply with the viewer.
