Artwork Description

Mechanicum
where the human face becomes architecture, weathered visage, cathedral of rust and pipework, half-portrait and half-ruin. The decaying world inside my head.

the intersection of surrealism, industrial decay and portraiture, drawing on a biomechanical lineage while keeping a painterly, almost devotional stillness.

Part of the ongoing mechanicum series, exploring the body as ruined structure and the machinery of memory.

Artist Bio

I make surrealist works that pull the human figure through myth, anatomy, and dream. Genesis and creation, flesh formed from formless matter, the body as both subject and symbol — these are the threads I keep returning to, filtered through Greek and biblical myth and the visual grammar of Dalí, Magritte and the Symbolists.
My recent series treat the body as porcelain: the Delft Blue Anatomical works fuse the cobalt-and-white elegance of 17th-century Dutch Delftware with anatomical precision, a deliberate tension between fragility and structure. Other series — Soulscape, Ocean Colossus, Ex Nihilo — move the same preoccupations into landscapes of the mind, where the vastness of the ocean meets the confines of the skull.
I work primarily in digital media, printed on wrap-around canvas, in strictly limited editions. Every piece is a visual narrative — a fleeting moment or an elusive emotion, held still. Based in Australia. Currently accepting commissions.
