Artist Statement Art for me is a way to relax. It slows me down and allow me to connect with myself and nature. Recently, I started working in Oils and developing collections for portraiture and figurative. I am fascinated to explore the narratives in the human portraits and figurative that connects and tell story to the viewer. The more faces and forms I paint, I see stories. Each lines, wrinkles, spots, bags and dark circles under the eyes, bumps and dips on human face and body tells story that is unique to each of us. I am not just painting face and body, I am painting stories that is unspoken, unheard by anyone but you. I like to keep my brushstrokes visible and raw. Most of my paintings are painted in Alla Prima style.Exhibitions Virtual Solo Show- Floral Kingdom - Feb 2021 Group Exhibition “Feelings”- London 2020 Association of Animal Artists Exhibition- Richmond 2018 Group Exhibition at Weston Park, Granary - Shropshire 2018 Association of Animal Artists' Annual Exhibition- Cheshire 2017
