Artwork Description

In honor of Asclepius, a particular type of non-venomous snake was often used in healing rituals, and these snakes â€“ the Aesculapian snakes â€“ crawled around freely on the floor in dormitories where the sick and injured slept. These snakes were introduced at the founding of each new temple of Asclepius throughout the classical world. Inspired by my love of Greek myth

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.
