Untitled 173 (2025)


Oil on cradled board

25cm X 20cm X 2cm, 2025

£1500



This painting is oil on cradled board. It depicts a person, but is not a portrait in the traditional sense. My paintings are not concerned with likeness or identity but with evoking emotional and psychological states. Gestures, glances, and expressions allude to something just beyond reach. Each figure is a conduit for feeling: mine, perhaps yours, perhaps everyone’s. My works aim to explore the complexities of being human, quietly inviting the viewer into a shared emotional space.
