Artist Statement

My artistic journey is deeply rooted in the exploration of three distinct types of watercolour’s: traditional, gouache, and watercolour pencils. Each medium offers unique qualities that allow me to express my vision in diverse and captivating ways.

Traditional watercolours provide a sense of fluidity and transparency, enabling me to capture the delicate interplay of light and shadow. Gouache, with its opaque and vibrant pigments, allows for bold, expressive strokes and rich textures. Watercolour pencils offer precision and control, enabling me to add intricate details and fine lines to my compositions.

Nature serves as my primary muse, inspiring me to capture its ephemeral beauty and intricate patterns. Through my art, I strive to evoke a sense of wonder and connection to the natural world, inviting viewers to pause and appreciate the subtle details that often go unnoticed. Each piece is a testament to the delicate balance between control and spontaneity, structure, and freedom.

By combining these three types of watercolours, I aim to create works that resonate with both clarity and dreamlike fluidity. My goal is to offer a visual experience that is both grounding and uplifting, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the world around us.

My shelter Up on my bed

When I was a boy, my imagination knew no bounds. One of my favourite pastimes was creating a cosy little shelter right on my bed. It wasn’t just any shelter; it was a tent made out of sheets, held up by a piece of wood. This simple structure became my fortress, my hideaway, and my adventure zone.

I remember the excitement of gathering all the necessary materials. I would carefully select the sturdiest sheets from the linen closet, making sure they were large enough to drape over my bed. The piece of wood, often a broomstick or a spare rod, served as the central support, transforming my bed into a magical tent.

Once the tent was up, I would crawl inside with a flashlight and a stack of my favourite books. The soft glow of the flashlight created a warm, inviting atmosphere, perfect for reading stories of far-off lands and daring heroes. Sometimes, I would invite my stuffed animals to join me, turning the tent into a bustling campsite.

The best part of my shelter was the sense of adventure it brought. Inside that tent, I could be anyone and go anywhere. I was an explorer in the jungle, a knight in a castle, or a sailor on a ship. The possibilities were endless, and my imagination ran wild.

Looking back, those moments spent in my makeshift tent were some of the happiest of my childhood. They taught me the joy of creativity and the magic of turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. My shelter up on my bed was more than just a plaything; it was a gateway to a world of wonder and adventure.
