The Abstracted Collection is an exploration of the spaces between reality and imagination, where form, memory, and emotion dissolve into something both familiar and ungraspable. In these paintings, recognisable shapes might emerge for a moment before melting back into the canvas, much like the way memories shift and change when recalled. I approach each piece as a search, not for a perfect image, but for a raw truth. Layers of colour, texture, and mark-making are built, destroyed, and rebuilt again, echoing the way we construct and deconstruct meaning in our lives. The process is physical, instinctive, and often unpredictable, allowing the work to hold an energy that feels alive. While the paintings are rooted in abstraction, they often carry a human presence, a flicker of movement, a shadow of a figure, a whisper of a landscape, fragments that invite the viewer to find their own story. I want the work to offer an open space for reflection; a place where the mind can wander and the emotions can land without needing resolution. In the end, The Abstracted Collection is less about what you see, and more about what you feel. It’s an ongoing conversation between the paint, the artist, and the viewer, one that resists tidy conclusions and instead embraces the beauty of the unresolved.
