artist statement
Advances in the uses of contemporary media such as installations and photography have resulted in a general reappraisal of the relevance of figurative painting. Rooted in philosophy, delving into histories of abstraction and representation and employing various contemporary strategies, my work is an attempt to reinvest painting with a critical contemporary content.
