As a contemporary artist, my creative journey is guided by the intricate dance between intention and chance. My process-driven paintings are a testament to the beauty found in the unpredictable. Beginning with a blank canvas, I relinquish control to a randomiser device, allowing it to determine the subject matter of each composition. This surrender to the whims of fate infuses my work with an element of serendipity, unveiling unexpected narratives and harmonies. Once the subject emerges, I immerse myself in the act of creation, employing various techniques and mediums to bring the vision to life. Each brushstroke is a dialogue between conscious choice and subconscious impulse, resulting in a rich tapestry of textures and colours. The journey doesn't end there. Embracing the ethos of transformation, I meticulously cut, snap and smash the paintings then rearrange them, reshaping into new abstract forms. This process of deconstruction and reconstruction celebrates the endless possibilities
