Folk Tales and Short Stories
I am drawn to narrative and creating colourful abstract worlds based on short stories, folklore, music and mythology.
I love emmersing my imagination from the words I read and translate this into visual language with painting. Colour and pattern play a huge role to portray a sense of time and place.
“No attempt is made to distinguish between real and unreal events. The feeling of myths is an older art than the construction of histories and the value of myth does not depend on historical accuracy. Symbolic approaches regard mythology as a way of thinking and a poetic method of meanings beneath the surface”.
