39 x 52 x 1 cm

This work is built from hand-cut cardboard elements assembled into a simplified floral composition. The flowers and stems are painted with oil paint, allowing the brushwork to remain visible while emphasizing the materiality of the corrugated cardboard.

The composition explores the relationship between line, silhouette and negative space. Curving stems move across the surface with varying rhythm, while the limited palette of reds, greens, black and white creates a strong graphic structure. Rather than describing flowers realistically, the work reduces them to essential shapes, balancing spontaneity with careful placement.

The exposed edges of the cut cardboard and the visible construction are intentionally preserved, becoming part of the visual language alongside the painted surface. The result sits between painting, collage and relief, where colour, texture and shadow all contribute to the final image.

Ive never been particularly interested in defining my work through one style or visual language. I tend to follow intuition, colour, movement and whatever happens between memory, material and the thing Im trying to make.

I work across painting, collage and mixed media, using oils, oil sticks, pastels, cardboard and whatever else the work seems to need. Im drawn to cutting things apart, layering them, rebuilding them and leaving some of that construction visible.

My work often begins with something ordinary a flower, a vase, a bowl of fruit, a landscape and becomes something slightly less certain along the way. Shapes get simplified, proportions shift, colours stop behaving realistically and lines dont necessarily go where they should.

Im less interested in perfection than in what happens when I allow a work to stay a little raw, playful and unresolved.

For me, making art is a way of finding something I couldnt have planned in advance.
