What the work’s about

My work documents a spectrum of people, capturing their experiences, passions and characters in the vividness of their expressions. I like to illustrate the impact of their harsh and unforgiving surroundings through their dark and sometimes grotesquely menacing demeanors. Through my drawings and mixed media paintings I attempt to portray the spirit of everyday faces through suggested narrative and the simple power of body language and human expression
