My practice investigates the architecture of trauma as it is embedded within the nervous system, memory, and perception. Working across acrylic, tempera, and watercolour, I construct layered pictorial fields in which figuration and abstraction coexist in dynamic tension.

In my Neuro-Expressionist works, carefully structured black linear networks traverse the surface of the painting, forming neurological webs that both divide and connect. These lines function as visual translations of neural pathways – mapping the interdependence between psychological states and lived environments. They are at once rupture and repair, fragmentation and integration. While the compositions are often formally planned, the final network introduces what I describe as a “constructed spontaneity,” reflecting the paradoxical order and chaos of the brain itself.

Material choice plays a deliberate role in this inquiry. Tempera connects me to early formative experiences and embodies control and layering; watercolour introduces unpredictability and diffusion; acrylic allows for permanence and structural build. Each medium becomes part of the conceptual framework, mirroring the interplay between memory, adaptation, and reconstruction.

My work operates within the tension between individual and collective trauma. The act of being born is itself a rupture; from that first breath onward, experience shapes neural wiring and behavioural patterning. In a cultural moment increasingly aware of trauma yet prone to commodifying it, I resist spectacle. Instead, I approach the canvas as a site of structural examination – where emotional narratives can be observed, dissected, and reorganized.

Ultimately, I am interested in the space between fragmentation and unity: the moment in which constructed identities are exposed and a more authentic internal coherence becomes possible.
