A lot of the contemporary artefacts that I use in many of my paintings with each object carrying their own meaning attached to it.
My favourite genre is still life and I am very much influenced by the early Vanitas paintings as I like to create a narrative with material objects. I aim to incorporate 3 major aspects in my paintings: a degree of technical ability, a thought-provoking concept or underlying theme and finally aesthetic value. A lot of my work is also autobiographical which also coincides with many of the underlying themes as my life experience often offers an alternative standpoint/perspective (I learnt to paint as a prisoner, being formerly involved in the drug trade).
