Becoming

These paintings ask us to witness without intruding—the universal experience of sitting with difficulty, of weathering change, of the body as vessel for emotional experience. The gestural brushwork refuses prettiness or idealisation; each stroke is visible, urgent, yet the cumulative effect is deeply tender.

The figures emerge from backgrounds of turbulent colour, their forms defined not by contour but by the weight of paint itself. This is portraiture that prioritises psychological truth over likeness—the body as it feels to inhabit, not merely as it appears.
