This painting was the first in my new 'Distillation Series'. I was exploring a new way of working and pushing my work towards greater abstraction, trying to make landscape references more subtle and challenging myself to find new ways of 'seeing'.

Disruption is an inevitable part of being human. We experience it in the sudden shifts that alter the rhythm of our lives — moments when what once felt certain begins to fracture or change shape. Themes of disturbance are made tangible and visible in this series of paintings as the application of the paint itself and the varied compositions mirror the interruptions we face in our own life journeys.

In abstract painting, the unseen often becomes the most compelling subject. Emotions, fleeting experiences, and subtle states of consciousness resist direct representation, yet they can be evoked through the deliberate movement of paint, the layering of texture, and the rhythm of recurring forms. Patterns and circles, in particular, provide a visual language for these ephemeral experiences: their repetition suggests continuity, their curves imply flow.

The Proximity collection captures personal experiences and translates them into visual form through abstract painting, transforming subtle human emotions into tangible artworks. The paintings in Proximity explore themes of presence, absence, relationships and formative moments. Using contrasting colour and circular motifs, this collection evokes the tension and harmony that exist in human connection.

In this series, landscapes are not just places—they are experiences, reflections of the inner terrain we navigate every day. Colour and form play alongside each other like memory and feeling, inviting you to step into spaces that are at once intimate and vast. Each painting pulses with emotion. Bold colours, strong compositions with unique narratives become hills and valleys, skies and horizons, which in turn become metaphors for our emotional journeys.

The Transition Series is a journey through change, captured in paint. Each work in the collection explores moments of shift, that may appear subtle but are inherently profound. Through restrained colour palettes, visual texture, and abstract forms, the paintings give visible form to experiences that are often intangible: the quiet evolution of thought, the turning points of emotion, and the subtle currents of transformation that ripple through daily existence.
