Relearning the surface

Paintings that delve into the emotional landscape of love —its tenderness, its tension, its beauty, and its ache. How I know love to be. Through layered colour, fragmented forms, and gestural movement, the works explore intimacy not as a single feeling but as a spectrum of experiences: longing, unspoken desires, the warmth of connection, and fractures of heartbreak.

​

Rooted in the cultural textures of love—community, resilience, sensuality, and survival—the collection reflects how intimacy is shaped by both personal desire and collective history. It honours the tenderness that thrives despite hardship and the complexity of loving deeply in a world that has often denied that softness.

​

Together, the paintings create an emotional archive: a visual language of affection, vulnerability, and desire that captures both the beauty and the burden of closeness. They invite the viewer not just to observe love, but to feel its echoes—its heat, its hesitation, its lingering presence long after the moment has passed.
