Inspiration (Currumbin)

Inspired by vibrant colour design I aim to twist conventional approaches to representational drawing and painting, with an ink on paper technique I learned during a residency in Germany in 2017/18.

Tattooing is my daily passion and has kept me busy for over 6 years, enabling me to travel to different countries and visit museums all over the world. Ever since studying fine art in Brisbane I’ve always been fascinated by representational expressionism and surrealism, my investigation into these genres lead me to paint loosely as opposed to executing meticulous tattooing. Moving forward in my art practices this juxtaposition of stylistic approaches provides myself with a healthy balance between my professional career tattooing and expressing myself as a painter with a social consciousness.
