ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I am inspired by the colours of life; the way we relate to it as human beings and our immediate environment. I really love vibrant, flashy, and dull colours. Capturing facials and
tonal graduation really gets me in the mood to execute my works.
APPROACH
Working mostly on canvas, paper etc., I transport my sketches to my surface by free-hand drawing, and sometimes scaling. I work with all grade of shading pencils with the help of a brush, tissue
paper, and ear bud; to be able to achieve my tones and shades. I convert my pictures to black and white scheme to help my work. ‘’If you don’t know the story, don’t Judge the Book . . . ”
