Artist Statement

I work with different mediums and techniques using themes which focus on finding beauty in the ordinary objects and nature. Recent works have been done with a mixture of charcoal and oil stick, finding the power in a simple black and white image. I also like to experiment with acrylics using a restrictive colour palette.
