I am an abstract expressionist artist.
I live and work in Manchester, UK.
I like to paint in two main ways, and they show two sides of who I am.
I paint fast and intensely, like a splashing of feelings onto the canvas. I lay the canvas flat on a table, drop paint on it, and then use a cloth to scrub it rapidly. It's messy and spontaneous. I believe these paintings capture frustrations, passions, and intense feelings.
I paint in a more structured approach. These pieces are geometrical and ordered, with muted colours and calmness. I use a brush and paint vertically. They're influenced by the journeys and pathways through cities, especially at night, and minimalist artists like Mondrian.
We all have different mindsets to control: the wild and emotional versus the calm and logical. Through my paintings, I explore these psychological states visually.
