What I like most about the culture in Wandsworth is the strong sense of community paired with its vibrant creative energy. The borough brings together people from many backgrounds, and that diversity is reflected in its local markets, festivals, independent shops, and arts events. I appreciate how Wandsworth supports local artists and small businesses, creating a welcoming and inspiring environment. There’s a balance between lively cultural activity and calm green spaces.
I am a multidisciplinary, self-taught artist who began using avant-garde materials to create, being mostly influenced by my love of texture and what I see around me.This transitioned into my art career, developing into sculptures and three-dimensional canvas pieces. As a multifaceted artist, my scope of work remains wide, from creating original pieces that evoke rich colours to the ultimate goal of producing a visually polished piece, whether it is a 3D sculpture or a large canvas piece.
In my art practice, I explore the realm of abstract, textured art, where I embark on a captivating journey of expression and experimentation.Through my work, I strive to transcend the limitations of conventional representation, embracing the power of texture and abstraction to communicate emotions and ideas in a profound and visceral way.
