Journey
mixed media on canvas
90 × 120 cm
2025
This artwork was inspired by the journey my wife and I have been on together. The piece is a portrait of her. The eyes are the most detailed part of the work, reflecting the experience of looking someone you love in the eye, with the rest of the world melting into abstraction and emotion. The dog, in the foreground, symbolises companionship and loyalty.
The piece has a unique fabric frame made from strips of jacquard weave. The piece is intentionally left unfinished to reflect the unfinished story we are creating.
Our journey began in 2018 and has taken us through the COVID pandemic and the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. I would never have imagined I would live through such events, or how they would alter my outlook on life. Having a hand to hold in the darkness and someone to lean on when the path ahead seems unbearable is the most comforting feeling.
Traversing the happenings of recent years only strengthens my resolve to create art that brings people a space for joy and peace. I believe reflecting on the love and magic of life brings light and hope to a world full of growing darkness.

Created as a reminder to slow down and reconnect with ourselves, this collection depicts self-reflection, inner stillness, and the complexity of being human.
By layering portraits, flowers and dreamy textures, each piece invites you to pause and step back from distraction and reconnect with thought, emotion, and the beauty of our inner world.
Blending the real with the surreal, the work is inspired by mindfulness, human connection, and the strange, hopeful experience of navigating life through the lens of our own minds.
Designed to bring a sense of calm, curiosity, and reflection into our spaces.

This piece was created using acrylic, charcoal, and digitally designed jacquard tapestry on canvas. Layers of painting, drawing, collage, and stitched fabric are combined to create textured surfaces that feel both fragmented and emotionally charged.
I often tear apart sections of my paintings and stitch them back together using my sewing machine, allowing the work to evolve through layering, reconstruction, and experimentation. The woven tapestry elements are digitally designed by me and produced in collaboration with a weaving studio in the United States.
My creative process is playful, intuitive, and constantly evolving. I collect images, colours, textures, and symbols that I feel emotionally connected to. I then combine and rearrange them whilst searching for balance within the composition.
Through repeated layering, reworking, and partial destruction of the surface, the artworks gradually develop a fractured, dreamy appearance.
