The paintings of animals are a captivating fusion of artistic styles.
 
Incorporate elements from the Chinoiserie tradition, creating a visual tapestry that is both mesmerizing and unique. What sets these paintings apart is the clever integration of painted designs directly into the bodies of the animals, reminiscent of a fragment from an antique ceramic vase.
 
The Chinoiserie like imbue the compositions with a sense of timelessness and elegance. The fresco elements provide a weathered, aged appearance, evoking the aura of antique artistry. Meanwhile, the trompe l'oeil technique adds a touch of illusion, blurring the lines between reality and artifice.These paintings serve as a visual celebration of the interplay between different artistic mediums.
 
The merging of Chinoiserie techniques with the natural forms of the animals creates a harmonious fusion, where art becomes an integral part of the creatures themselves. It is a testament to the artist's skill and creativity, transforming the familiar into something extraordinary.
They remind us of the boundless possibilities of artistic expression and ignite our imagination, allowing us to see animals as more than mere subjects but as vessels of art and beauty.
 
Each painting that I create is a unique dance with a variety of materials, unique to each work. I often refer back to traditional painting methods when priming the surface and preparing the paints. One of my preferred mediums is egg tempera, which i prepare myself from scratch in the same way that the renaissance masters would have done. I always use oils and inks in my work. The quality of these mediums enables me to build up subtle and rich layers, from which my poetic images appear.
