As a professional artist, I find comfort in creating mixed media artworks that explore themes with personal significance. My work spans a wide range of mediums, including drawing, painting, photography, and illustration. Each piece is crafted to tell a story, as I believe that art should resonate and communicate on a deeper level.
My mixed media artwork is a dynamic exploration of creativity, blending traditional materials like inks, pens, and charcoals with unconventional mediums such as coffee and glue. Each piece is a journey of discovery, unfolding over time as the abstract elements mix and interact. This process-driven approach allows the meaning of the work to emerge gradually, revealing new layers of interpretation as the artwork evolves. Through this unique combination of mediums, I aim to create pieces that not only captivate visually but also invite viewers to delve into the deeper narrative behind each creation.
The artwork titled "CULLING /ˈkʌlɪŋ/" draws inspiration from the concept of "a deer in headlights," featuring a Springbok with a distinct South African twist. Primarily crafted in watercolor, this piece also incorporates pencil and ink to enhance its texture and depth. Originally commissioned for the cover of a poetry book, the original artwork is still available for purchase. "CULLING" captures a moment of intense vulnerability and reflection, merging traditional and modern elements to create a powerful visual narrative.
