British abstract painter and printmaker, having graduated from the Chelsea School of Art in London with a Master of Arts degree in Fine Art, currently resides and works in Heidelberg, Germany.

My symbolic and urban landscape paintings draw inspiration from artists such as Antoni Tapies, Manolo Millares, and Alberto Burri. By the 1990s, I had developed my distinctive style, characterized by built-up surfaces that are scratched, pitted, gouged, and carved with marks. These works often convey the impression of a hidden message, as my “matter paintings” employ unconventional materials such as plaster, marble dust, sand, and ground chalk to create richly textured surfaces that contribute to the depth of the works. The torn-apart and reassembled surfaces impart a rugged and tactile quality, reflecting my interest in exploring the relationship between the materiality of art and the physical world.

In my “matter art” series, I am committed to the richness of textures and the evocative power of material elements. My subsequent works continued to reflect my pursuit of creating art that invites internal exploration for both the artist and the viewer. While many of my paintings are monochromatic, I incorporate color to evoke drama and tension within the compositions.
