Photography Mixed Media
2020-21
A dexterous play of my original photographs of the everyday with art softwares as well as conventional inks, pastels, pen and charcoal. I spend a lot of time, over days and hours end on … constantly reconstructing and building the layers as I deep dive into the work. The process is intuitive; the truth often revealed in the final work.
Series
Sometimes a subject resonates deeply with me. Compeling me to explore it from different perspectives. These works come together as a series to tell the complete story. All my works are mono-editions. Each series below is a collection of multiple works. Please click on the images to view full screen.
To ‘narrate’ a story on my canvas, I collect characters…
…through my photography, from archival works of Masters, drawings and varied expressions I absorb in my travels. The collection is emotional, subliminal and sometimes personal - like a 'working library’, with characters appearing and reappearing in a number of my works.
I enjoy creating paint strokes, charcoal and etching effects, via tonal values using virtual brushes on a digital canvas. I then reconstruct and build details and textures by hand with pastels, charcoal and pen on the single edition.
