Back to profiles

I am a Belgo-British artist who lives and works in London. My multi-disciplinary art practice includes painting, printmaking and paper marbling. My pictorial style follows the tradition of trompe-l’oeil and I primarily make work on paper.

In my still life compositions, I tell the stories behind objects. I draw upon the decorative to reflect on the environmental challenges we face today, and to examine what aesthetic, material, economic and emotional value we attribute to objects. I am particularly interested in the concept of waste and how an object’s value can fluctuate when time and labour are invested in reusing, restoring or repurposing a previously discarded item.
