I am an abstract artist, producing photography and mixed media miniature scenes . After graduating in art photography, I worked in a fine art studio and in between, exhibited at V&A, Stills Gallery, Mall gallery London and in New York, Paris and Vienna. Concentrating now on just my personal work, exploring the spaces where light, texture, and imagination meet.

My artworks are a visual representation of how my mind often naturally interprets things I see or hear, into complex stories, full of colour and abstract hidden detail, using only natural light, reflections and refraction at its most playful, without manipulation. My work often plays with perspective and emotion, inviting viewers into dreamlike worlds that balance precision with a sense of wonder. My desire is to show some magical realism. These places, buildings, details are all real but when seen together with the natural elements of light and reflection, it blurs the line a little, between fantasy and reality. No matter what you see, there is always a crossroads of interpretation. I also create miniature sculptures, scenes and dioramas to illustrate what I see in a different way. Hand made, tiny details satisfy my precise way of seeing and working. Today, my creative process is guided by curiosity and experimentation. I’m drawn to the abstract and the in-between — the moments and materials that challenge how we see and feel. Each piece I make is a conversation between the real and the imagined, asking what happens when we let both coexist.
