My practice is grounded in an ongoing exploration of how the language of paint can mirror the shifting, dynamic character of the natural landscape. Each work begins as a painterly enquiry, often sparked by a specific formal concern: tension between colours, the dialogue between textured and smooth surfaces, or the balance between complexity and simplicity. These investigations become a way of thinking through the underlying structures of landscape itself — the threshold where sky meets land, the movement between foreground and distance, and the quiet lines that give a place its rhythm.
