About my painting 
During my postgraduate studies my artistic expression experienced a radical transformation and changed from an abstract coloured field to a more figurative style, which saw the introduction of an elevated viewpoint that is the least common in terms of frontal observation in everyday life. Figures were initially placed in straight lines or clusters in a typical frontal position, which raised the question of how much space they would take. By arranging the figures across the entire surface the areas in between became more interconnected with the figures, which somehow work as anchors, focal points, stains or emphasised areas where they are placed.
