About the Artist
My paintings explore the intersection between memory, architecture, machinery, and lived experience. Through abstraction, I construct layered visual spaces where industrial structures, mechanical processes, architectural forms, and fragments of personal memory coexist. Rather than describing the visible world, I seek to reveal how experience is remembered, reconstructed, and transformed over time.
Before becoming a full-time artist, I spent two decades as a marine engineer. That experience remains central to my practice. The machinery of ships, engineering processes, steel structures, technical drawings, and the disciplined logic of industrial systems frequently appear within my paintings—not as documentary images, but as visual elements reinterpreted through abstraction. They become metaphors for labour, resilience, time, and human presence.
Alongside these industrial narratives, my recent work investigates architectural memory and cultural landscapes. During my residency in Nepal, historic courtyards, facades, and layered urban spaces became the foundation for the series Inner Yards: Unmapped Memories. These paintings do not document specific places; instead, they reconstruct the emotional and psychological experience of inhabiting them.
Today, my practice moves fluidly between industrial and architectural subjects, creating paintings that balance structural precision with intuitive mark-making, where engineered forms and remembered spaces become part of the same visual language.
