This artwork is titled “Orcastra” and features a striking mix of navy blue and gold on a white background. The painting has an abstract style, with organic lines of gold spread throughout, resembling veins or delicate pathways. These gold lines travel across the canvas, creating a sense of movement and connection. In several areas, there are large patches of navy blue, which blend and contrast with the gold.

Within the abstract forms, you can make out the shape of an orca’s tail, which appears to rise from the blue sections of the painting. The tail is not fully detailed but rather suggested by the shape and flow of the paint. The combination of the bold navy and shimmering gold brings to mind the ocean’s depth and the elegance of an orca moving through it. The use of white space provides a clean, open feeling, allowing the blue and gold to stand out even more, creating a dynamic and balanced composition.

This artwork is titled “Dual Diagnosis” and is divided into two distinct sections. The top two-thirds of the canvas is white with black dots, and the bottom one-third is black with white dots. The dots in both sections are textured and spaced out, though they are not perfectly aligned. Some dots are slightly smudged or misaligned, creating small imperfections throughout the composition.

Across the white section, there’s a horizontal gold band that runs through the middle of the canvas. The gold band stands out because it is smooth and has no dots on it, providing a stark contrast to the areas above and below.

When viewed for an extended period, the pattern of dots creates an optical illusion effect, making the viewer feel as though the image is shifting or unsteady. This illusion, combined with the imperfections in the dots, symbolizes the duality of living with ADHD and Autism. The painting reflects the tension between the desire for routine, order, and perfection, and the reality of chaos, imperfection, and unpredictability. The use of black and white emphasizes contrast, while the gold band represents a point of balance.

This artwork, titled “Mer,” features a strking scene where the sky and sea are in harmony yet distinct in their qualities. The sky is a blend of pink and blue, with the colours gradually merging into one another, creating a soft, peaceful gradient. The ocean, in contrast, is textured and turbulent, with deep blues and turquoise tones applied using thick, layered paint techniques, including acrylics, impasto, and ink. The texture of the water makes it look rough and full of movement, as if waves are crashing.

Throughout the ocean, there are touches of gold that catch the eye, appearing like sunlight reflecting off the surface of the water. The overall composition emphasises the dynamic energy of the sea against the gentle serenity of the sky.

This abstract artwork, titled “Emerald Heart,” features a white background with bold splashes of emerald green and gold. Thin lines and splatters of gold stretch across the canvas, adding texture and a sense of movement. The emerald green areas are rich and vivid, and one of these shapes vaguely resembles an anatomical heart. The painting is centered around the theme of healing, inspired by the emerald stone’s association with the heart chakra, which is believed to promote emotional balance and openness. The gold elements, scattered throughout the piece, bring a warm, glowing energy that complements the soothing deep green tones.
