(b. 1986) is a British portrait artist known for his figurative oil paintings with distinctive flowing lines. His work explores the quiet relationship between form, light, and memory:
“I want to capture the simple moments in life that quietly shape us, translating them into a pure form with the feeling of life, distilled.”
About Me
My work explores the human figure through flowing line, natural light, and a fleeting sense of movement. I began with female subjects, drawn to their organic forms, softer, more fluid, and more naturally aligned with the visual language I’m building. These figures feel less constructed and more lived, allowing each painting to breathe, with a sense of ease and presence.
Flowing lines sit at the core of my practice. I use them not just to describe form, but to suggest time, movement, and the feeling of a moment passing. Each line becomes a trace, a way of building the figure in space while capturing something transient. In many ways, I’m painting how it feels to be human rather than how we appear. The repetition and rhythm of these lines bring a sense of calm and structure, almost meditative, echoing patterns found in nature and design.
My background in video games has shaped how I see form. I tend to think in three dimensions, and that perspective carries into my work, where lines begin to act like a form of modelling, or sculpture, rather than simple drawing.
Light is equally essential. I’m drawn to natural sunlight, and the mental benefits it brings, when everything feels slower and more grounded. It brings a sense of clarity and calm that I try to hold within each piece. Likewise, shadows play an important role too, adding depth and contrast, allowing the light to feel more deliberate and earned.
There is often a dreamlike quality to the work. Scenes sit somewhere between reality and memory, with softened edges, heightened colour, and a subtle sense of suspension. These paintings are not about exact moments, but about the feeling of them, fragments of time quietly unfolding.
