Biography
“#TheHonestArt”
I live for Honest Art. As a belief, a practice and an action process. Art is too large to be restricted to the knowledgeable only. It must extend to every human, old or young. It needs to cater to every sentiment and every notion. Honesty is the bridge that is desired by civilisation. The adhesive for peace and prosperity. Where Art deserves to play its potent part.
Why
My artistic practice is an intimate cartography of the inner self—an excavation of personal terrain that prioritizes raw discovery over stylistic polish or external acclaim. Painting, for me, transcends mere aesthetics or intellectual pursuit; it is an urgent reckoning with the psyche's hidden currents, where identity, resilience, longing, and truthfulness collide in perpetual flux.
This work stems from a pivotal point of self-revelation. Amid this schism, certainty is seemingly lost, from which my revelations come through in the form of my Art-- not as resolutions but as necessities of my spirit. The canvas becomes a crucible for purification. Transferred to pigment and form, they relinquish their hold from the physical to transforming painting into an act of liberation.
WHY YOU NEED THIS
At its core, my art enacts radical self-reckoning. By yielding to the full spectrum of the interior and not just the luminous.
The greater goal which I am pursuing is to encourage citizens in the conversation of Art and over Art.
Liberating the Conscious.

I just want to be more awake and alive. More whole. More real. More authentic. More myself. I know there has to be an unshakeable alliance between my inner voices and my inner healer. This will only happen through the process of devoting myself to the practice of entering into intimate communion with the inner world. And then willingly opening myself to everything that I find there...
Since 2016
The Vices Series is an exploration of the limitless self—those hidden corners of our being that exist beyond labels, roles, and expectations. It is where desire, fear, memory, and truth collide. To step into this space is to confront the unknown within...
Since 2019
Vices II extends this journey of self-discovery into a more conscious and expansive realm. Where the first series confronted the raw and hidden self, this chapter embraces colour as emotion, energy, and contradiction. Practiced across cloth, board, canvas, digital spaces, and mixed media, the series breaks the boundaries of a single surface—much like the self resists confinement...
