'The art of painting is to see beyond the everyday familiar vision of things'

My work combines abstraction and realism, containing references to specific places, objects. I seek for more than the 'everyday familiar vision of things' and focus on exploring the interaction of colour, form, texture and conceptual space using watercolour, acrylics, pastel, and at times a combination of these.
