Each series represents a distinct contemporary exploration, shaped by an engagement with history, visual culture, and evolving artistic ideas. By translating inspiration into abstract and modern forms, these works create spaces where the past and present intersect, encouraging reflection and personal interpretation.
Series I: Khamaaj
Silhouettes of the Manuscript is a painting from the Kamaaj series, where contemporary abstraction engages with fragments of historical memory and cultural trace.
Created with acrylic, spray paint, and gold leaf on brocade fabric, the work draws inspiration from the rich textile traditions of Japanese and Chinese history, where brocade has long symbolised craftsmanship, heritage, and layered storytelling. The fabric becomes both surface and symbol, carrying silhouettes of the manuscript-like narratives beneath the abstraction.
This work was exhibited as part of Exhibition Realms in Transit at Curated Frame Art Gallery Belfast and also featured in a screen-based installation at the Greece in Select Art Fair, extending its presence beyond the canvas into a contemporary immersive context.

Series II: Constructivist Studies
All Works from this series have been acquired for private collections.
Constructivist Studies is a contemporary series that revisits the language of early modernist Constructivism, reinterpreting its focus on structure, space, and material logic through an abstract architectural lens.
The series explores imagined spatial systems and fragmented urban perceptions, where works such as Blueprint of Elsewhere, Between Structure and Light, and Fragmented Skylines develop distinct visual languages rooted in architectural abstraction. Each painting investigates how structure can dissolve into atmosphere, how light interacts with form, and how memory of place can be reconstructed rather than represented.
Through the use of acrylic, spray paint, and selective applications of gold leaf, the works introduce tension between industrial construction and luminous disruption, referencing both the precision of modernist design and the fragility of contemporary experience.
The use of gold leaf introduces a subtle historical reference inspired by Byzantine art, where light, surface, and material carry a sense of transcendence. Within this contemporary abstract context, it becomes a contrasting element that bridges ancient visual language with modern architectural abstraction, creating a dialogue between different eras of art and perception.
By engaging with Constructivist principles in a contemporary context, the series reflects on how built environments are no longer fixed or absolute, but fluid, fragmented, and psychologically charged making Constructivist Studies a dialogue between historical modernism and present-day spatial uncertainty.
