I am a figurative painter, and I have dealt with the absence of complexities in relationships by creating metaphorical and idealistic imagery. My imagery is all-important as they range from stoic, solid male forms to swaying, suggestive female ones and how they blend and bond with twists and turns, albeit in a linear fashion. They are overlaid with the brightest and sharpest of jewel colours.
