figurative abstraction.
Faces, gestures, fragments—figures drift through layered fields of colour and memory.
In these works, form emerges, fades, and rearranges itself, mirroring the ways we hold and lose the people, places, and moments that shape us.
The People Within. (2024)
-
The People Within explores the tension between intimacy and distance, memory and structure. Fragmented faces emerge and dissolve within a scaffolding of blue and grey—suggesting both the containment and the complexity of identity. Each windowed space holds a figure, a partial moment, or an emotional residue, framed as if by stained glass or urban grids.
The work invites reflection on how we encounter others and ourselves—not as complete portraits, but as glimpses, constructions, and echoes shaped by time and perception. The layered textures and shifting transparency evoke both the vulnerability and endurance of personal history.

The People Within (2024)
Acrylic, Pencil, Marker on canvas
?? x ?? cmA meditation on memory, identity, and emotional architecture. Figures are framed, fragmented, and layered across a softened, rhythmic grid—suggesting a visual language of recognition and forgetting. The work explores how memory holds us not as whole beings but as traces, moments, and shifting impressions.
Comment:
“This piece explores the idea that we never see people—or ourselves—completely. We encounter fragments, moments, gestures. This work came together instinctively, but the grid emerged as a way to hold those impressions: How do we carry the lives within us. Are we revealing ourselves fully?”
X & Y (2023)
Created as companions, X and Y explore tension and release within the same visual language.
X holds a dense, coded energy—layered and compressed. Y moves outward—looser, lighter, more reflective.
Together, they form a conversation between structure and memory, asking to be felt rather than fully decoded.
-
Y opens out—visually and emotionally. While sharing palette and process with its companion, this piece breathes in a different rhythm. Figures emerge faintly in the lower register, like sketches remembered rather than drawn. Soft reds and watery blues give the sense of emotional drift—a thread extended, searching. If X is compression, Y is release.
