I am currently a full-time student at LARA (London Atelier of Representational Art). My main interest is to learn the techniques of the old masters in figurative art and use it to create works for a contemporary audience. I use a variety of mediums to express myself and experiment including oil, pastel, charcoal and pencil.

My background is in Artificial Intelligence and the corporate training industry. Though I have carried out a series of digital arts projects over the years, it wasn’t until I attended a life drawing session that I discovered a whole new world. I realised that drawing a face is extremely challenging. The more time I spent on figurative art, the more I appreciated the complexity. I have now a lot more respect for what the old masters have managed to achieve. The challenge of capturing a figure along with good design and composition has made the task extremely attractive to me. Hence, I eventually decided to devote myself entirely to the task and become a full-time artist.

While studying at LARA, I am focusing on all aspects of creating a quality work including craftsmanship, expression of light and form, realism, design and aesthetics of beauty.
