"As an artist, I am drawn to the fluidity and spontaneity of watercolour, a medium often associated with traditional techniques and delicate landscapes. However, I aim to push the boundaries of this perception by using nontraditional watercolour surfaces, infusing my work with a contemporary energy. The unconventional use of watercolour and inks allow for unexpected textures, layers and interactions, giving the paintings a modern feel that contrasts with the medium’s historic reputation. My process involves working on multiple pieces simultaneously. This approach enables a dynamic and intuitive flow between works. At times, I move swiftly and decisively, allowing the paint to capture a fleeting moment. In other instances, I engage more intensely with a piece, lingering to develop intricate layers and details. Through this duality—of speed and precision—I explore the tension between control and release, tradition and innovation. Ultimately, my work seeks to reframe watercolour within the context of contemporary art, challenging preconceived notions of what this medium can achieve."
