Artist statement:
“I have been fascinated by Salvador Dalí and René Magritte, the great surrealist artists of the 20th century. Like Dali, I strive to create provocative content by using classical watercolour painting and pencil drawing techniques to perfect the texture and lighting in each of my pieces. I use these classical drawing techniques and materials so I can differentiate myself from the digital content we constantly see on the internet or in post-internet art.”
