In my first year at university, I initiated a series of acrylic and gouache paintings inspired by marine life, focusing on the interplay of contrasting yet harmonious colour palettes. I aim to find a balance between semi-realism and abstraction whilst maintaining visual coherence.
For my AS Level Art project, I explored the theme of architecture, focusing on the use of various media to illustrate light, shadow, and structural form. Charcoal was my primary medium, but I also experimented with gouache and printmaking. One piece involved creating a lino print based on a collage of iconic architectural elements, combining traditional and contemporary techniques.
