Fair Art Fair x The Auction Collective

My work is a conversation, an intimate dialogue, of my love for the natural world, in contrast with my urban surroundings.I seek out moments that where evolving abstract beauty, deconstruction and decay collide. In nature I see infinite patterns, intricate and perfect. On the streets I see something similar emerging, immersed in recreating the rhythm and found beauty on the walls and streets around London. A narrative evolves capturing moments of my life's journey. Birth, death and transformation is a process within the human existence. I look to nature, drawing parallels by highlighting the fragility of life and metamorphosis in the forms of butterflies.

Transient urban textures echoing an ever encroaching urbanisation. I am asking the viewer to reexamine our connection to the natural world, inciting awareness to reestablish harmony and balance. By strengthening our connection to nature, we are destined to find an inner peace and clarity. As Albert Einstein once said, “Look deep into nature & you will understand everything better” a philosophy close to my heart. The infinite patterns and symmetry I see in butterflies and the natural world remind me of a divinity which is out of our realm but available to us all if we stop, look and listen. Their poetic nature and kaleidoscopic colours are a gift from the Universe and endless source of inspiration for my art.
