Graphite and chalk on hand toned paper
36 x 29 cm
2026
For most of my life, I have been drawn to impressionism and abstraction, but five years ago I began training in classical painting, and it immediately felt like coming home. Today I paint exclusively from life, with a focus on portraiture. Working over multiple sessions allows me to build a genuine connection with the sitter and to translate the emotional resonance I experience into the work.
I see art as an escape into quietude and contemplation — a rare pause in a fast-paced world. In my practice, I draw on the subtle language of gesture and light, using these elements to invite the viewer into a moment of inner stillness and recognition. I combine creativity with the discipline of the craft, and I am a perfectionist by nature; I polish a piece until it feels balanced, resolved, and true to the person before me.
Based in London, I work primarily in oil and have exhibited in the UK, Poland, and Russia. My goal is to create paintings that honour the presence of the sitter while offering the viewer a sense of calm, intimacy, and quiet reflection.
