In a world of religious diversity. The mix of iconic religious images can have a profound effect on people.
My artwork takes a fun plunge into this realm of imagery.
I do this by creating altered and transformed images with a light touch and sometimes comical approach so that the viewer can see the impactful effect which could range from inspirational to frightening.
Although there may not always be material similarities between the different projects I’ve created, they are linked by recurring formal concerns and through the subject matter. The subject matter of each body of work determines the materials and the forms of the work. Each project often consists of multiple works, often in a range of different media, grouped around specific themes and meanings.

"AQUARIOSITY" The art in this series represents the creation of life in an underwater setting, from primordial soup to the emergence of higher forms of life. My intention is to celebrate the miracle of life and the beauty of the underwater world. To bring this vision to life, I'm drawing inspiration from two iconic artists of the early 20th century: Matisse and Chagall. Their bold use of color and expressive forms are well-suited to capturing the essence of underwater life. The result will be a dreamlike, emotionally resonant experience that draws viewers into the immersive world I'm creating
My ultimate goal is to celebrate the profound miracle of life and the exquisite beauty hidden within the depths of the underwater realm. A world that is under attack daily from human negligence

The artwork is a stylized representation of an underwater scene. It features a variety of sea creatures amidst aquatic flora. The painting is characterized by its soft tones, flowing lines, and an almost dream-like quality. In the foreground, there are several stingrays swimming amongst bleached coral plants. The rays are depicted in shades of white and grey with subtle hints of blues and yellows, contrasting with the darker, teal-colored background of the water. The faded color is a referral to the loss of life due to climate change and human neglect. Dotting the composition, there are small, round elements in colors ranging from white to orange, resembling bubbles or possibly pearls. Amongst the flora, plants and seaweed are shown in various shades of green, grey, and pink. One can also observe plants that look similar to anemones and corals, with textures and patterns that add depth to the piece. The brushwork suggests movement and the light reflected within the scene creates a serene yet dynamic underwater atmosphere.
