The work is a reflection of my life experience. I create emotional responses to the city around me, using snippets of images or ideas. Life in today's cities is an experience of fast moving sights, sounds and fractured thoughts. I try to re-create life's movement by using the human figure, organic and architectural shapes. My style references graffiti, street culture, raw and tribal art.

I am influenced by my childhood spent in the French Jura mountains and teenage years in West Africa added to my recent metropolitan experience in London.”
