I am an illustrator who primarily works with traditional materials such as oil and acrylic, often expanding my practice by developing pieces further through digital platforms like Procreate and Photoshop. My style is grounded in contemporary painterly realism, with a focus on portraiture and still life. Through my work, I explore and critique social issues, particularly the influence of consumer culture and the persuasive power of imagery and advertising. I aim to strike a balance between creating artworks that are visually captivating at first glance, while also encouraging viewers to engage more deeply and think critically about the themes beneath the surface.
