Chromatic Figures
Medium: Mixed media on paper
Size: A3 (297 × 420 mm)
Chromatic Figures is an ongoing series of mixed-media works exploring the relationship between the human body and colour as a psychological landscape. Combining monoprint, acrylic, charcoal and ink, the works reduce the figure to its essential gesture, allowing colour, texture and line to carry emotional meaning.
Rather than depicting identifiable individuals, the figures exist in an undefined space between presence and memory. Their bodies emerge from layered fields of pigment where traces of printing, drawing and erasure remain visible, revealing the process of their creation. Colour becomes more than a visual element, it functions as atmosphere, emotion and rhythm, shaping each figure's internal state.
The series investigates how minimal gestures can evoke vulnerability, resilience, intimacy and movement while leaving space for the viewer's own interpretation. Between abstraction and figuration, Chromatic Figures reflects on the body's capacity to communicate beyond language, inviting contemplation rather than narration.
Faces of Heritage
Medium: Monoprint, mixed media on paper
Size: A4 (210 × 297 mm)
Faces of Heritage explores the intersection of memory, identity and cultural heritage through simplified portraiture, monoprint and mixed media. I am fascinated by how traditional clothing, headwear and ornament become a visual language, one that tells stories about belonging, history and the role of women across generations.
The portraits in this series are not representations of specific individuals or exact ethnographic costumes. Instead, they are intuitive interpretations inspired by the remarkable diversity of women's traditional attire from different cultures. By reducing facial features to their essential forms and combining them with symbolic decorative elements, I seek to create images that feel both timeless and universal.
Monoprint is central to my practice because of its unpredictability. Every print carries traces of gesture, texture and chance, making each work unique. I embrace these imperfections as metaphors for cultural identity itsel - layered, evolving and shaped by countless influences.
