Portraits

My portraits are not about accurate resemblance; they’re attempts to catch a living presence. Faces surface from layers of paint and drawing, then partially withdraw, marks kept, marks removed, histories left visible. The gaze is suggested rather than fixed; a line can be tender or feral, a smudge can hold more truth than detail.

Echoes of the Renaissance meet a contemporary urgency as figuration edges into abstraction. Each work feels like a memory arriving: specific yet universal, poised between vulnerability and strength. These are portraits you don’t simply look at you meet them, and they quietly look back.
