Artist Profile

As a painter working primarily in the studio, I depend upon photographic imagery. It allows me to capture moments I wish to paint drawing from my own photographic references collection and the immense visual source of  social media. 

​

As a gay artist, my practice directly engages with the shifting narratives of masculinity and representation. I seek to challenge singular interpretations of the male form, offering a multiplicity of identities that exist both within and beyond conventional frameworks. By positioning queer identities at the heart of my work,I  introduce a subversive aspect to contemporary portraiture—creating a space for visibility, reflection, and quiet resistance.

​

The emotive power of painterly language guides my work. Colour, line, mark, and texture are expressive tools that shape atmosphere and psychological depth. 

​

Through this, my practice explores how identity is documented, curated, and performed in the digital age.
