I am a painter interested in how space is experienced and how it can be reworked through painting. My work often begins from observation but shifts into something more constructed, where images are built from pieces rather than shown directly. I think a lot about how an image is framed and what is left out, and how this can shape what the viewer takes from the work. My experience of vertigo has influenced this way of working. It has made me more aware of balance and how space can feel slightly off or uncertain.
Because of this, I am interested in how an image can hold that instability without fully resolving it. Painting gives me a way to slow things down and spend time with these moments, allowing something familiar to become slightly unfamiliar.

The work focuses on narrative through domestic interiors, especially areas that connect one space to another. I am drawn to doorways, corridors, and staircases because they suggest movement and a sense that something is about to happen or has just happened. The paintings range from smaller studies to larger works. The smaller paintings are more contained and focus on subtle shifts in light and space. In the larger paintings, different interiors are brought together, creating spaces that don’t fully make sense.
Rooms overlap and perspectives shift, which introduces a feeling of instability. Through this process, the interiors become less about specific places and more about how space is experienced. They feel recognizable at first, but the space does not fully settle, encouraging the viewer to question how it fits together.
