Who am I?
I am an artist working in the UK. I come from an immigrant family which means that I don’t belong where I came from and I don’t belong where I’ve ended up.
This gives me a unique objectivity and enables me to filter what I see around me to provide independent insight without the weight of tradition and belongingness - or rather, it helps me create my own tradition and belongingness - my constructed folklore.
I work in digital media including video and illustration, oil paint and collage.
My art is as much about doing and thinking as finishing or achieving. I enjoy the possibilities to layer meaning and the variety of surface and image that oil paint and digital media provide.
