"I’m interested in finding the harmony in chaos. I believe there’s richness in diversity and we need to celebrate it and showcase it. It’s through differences that we can find ourselves."

"I want to create art that is interesting both visually and intellectually. Using random shapes, spaces and components, I create paintings that convey my thoughts on the social or psychological behaviours of human beings. I want my art to be considered profound but playful, because that’s how I feel when I create."
