I am a visual artist based in Sydney, Australia. I am exploring the concept of surrealism through the medium of ink, water paints, and fine liner pens.
My current work is an evolution of practicing and exploring over the years to understand the expression that resonates and conveys my understanding of life.
Surreal expression helped me discover the beauty of leaning in and visualising from the subconscious and creating with a free and liberated mind. It was magical when I started deconstructing the shapes and objects that I perceived in reality to just as they were to hold a higher meaning and value.
It felt deeply unreal when I started noticing and observing things around me - that anything could be anything. This deconstruction of reality, and reconstruction of my new reality, led me to explore, create and openly accept the beauty of the world around me. Truly a freeing and an empowering feeling.
I am also writing short bites of poetry to unlock and share how I visualise ideas, depict my dream worlds, and imagination that acknowledges liberation from conventions, conformations, and limited biases.
My passion is to not only continue exploring this liberated world that now exists within me, but also share this joy of non-conformation, of deconstruction of our perceived realities, of the worldly right and wrong, and enable a space for others to freely express and celebrate that uniqueness within us.
