​THE RULES

​Structure dictates the output.
My work is governed by a strict internal logic to ensure the integrity of the process. Whether it is an A2 ink drawing or a large-scale installation, the constraints remain the same:
  • The Foundation: Use of Black and White as the primary structural pillars.
  • The Integration: Black within White. White within Black.
  • The Spectrum: The seven colors of the chakras must be represented.
This framework is arbitrary by design. It serves as a constant marker for my work—a professional boundary that forces creativity through a specific lens of discipline.

And so upon the winter came the rain.
Cold, dark and brooding.
Thus was colour born.
A cry for light.
