I am fascinated by the way human beings express themselves and relate to one another within our modern systems. The environment that I am, including all of the cultural and social aspects, are the influences and the subjects of my work. Within these systems I try to find the human elements, those subtle expressions of our emotions, experiences and stories which make us unique and yet at the same time connect us to each other. Through my abstract portrait work, I focus on the subtle way these human experiences are expressed, be it in our facial gestures, in the way we occupy and share space with each other or the way we present ourselves to the world.

My drawings and sketches are my instantaneous translations of the wide array of emotions around me. Be it the way someone looks in a particular direction, or the way they avoid eye contact in a public space. All of these are masks that we wear in public, masks which even though they may try, do not hide the complexity of our emotional human self. The sketches grab a particular emotion and look past the chaos of the mask and every day realities to find the emotional stories of the people around me. They are created fast and organically as to not loose any of the subtle self-expression shared through a look, a posture, a gesture, a glance.
