As an abstract artist, I use perspective and geometric shapes to deconstruct scenes and reconstruct them into a personal visual language. My work combines forms, colors, patterns, textures, and materials to create visually rich and meaningful objects. I aim to produce art that is more suggestive than informative, leaving space for viewers to engage their imagination and interpret the work in their own way.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Collages

Collage is an artistic creation technique that consists of making a plastic creation by combining elements of various kinds: more or less flat materials, such as printed oilcloth, painting or drawing, newspaper extracts with text and photos, paper paintings, documents, various objects of low relief, etc. When the creation incorporates elements in relief, one can also speak of assemblage. This also includes glued papers, which employ a variety of papers, including newspaper, and drawing techniques.

I am a London-based artist exploring the evolving boundaries of abstract art within a contemporary framework. My practice is rooted in experimentation, drawing on a wide range of materials and media—painting, drawing, collage, photography, digital printing, and graphic design—to construct layered, immersive visual languages.
Often working in a distinctly grunge aesthetic, I combine raw textures, distressed surfaces, and bold geometric structures to evoke both order and chaos. These geometric forms serve as anchors within the work—rigid yet fractured, offering moments of stability amid the expressive turbulence of the mixed media. Each piece becomes a site of tension and synthesis, where analog and digital techniques converge in unexpected ways.
Art-making, for me, is an intuitive and investigative process. It’s a continual dialogue between control and spontaneity, precision and disruption. I’m drawn to abstraction not as a stylistic choice, but as a method for navigating the complexity of modern experience—fragmented, layered, and always in flux.
Through my work, I invite viewers into this space of exploration: a visual field where ambiguity is embraced, and where the worn, the broken, and the reassembled speak to deeper emotional and cultural currents.
