Is a contemporary impressionist artist exploring primary colours through his primarism style. He considers himself an avant-garde artist, consciously breaking colour rules in his style of painting, which is evident in the dominant, deliberate and considered use of saturated primary colours, he believes rules are like barricades on the creative highway, proclaiming himself to be careless in his rendition but careful in his creative process and expression. His subject matter is primarily figurative (portraitures) he enjoys painting faces mostly that of children in everyday sagacity which is rendered in browns and primary colour metaphorically expressing the state of innocence that we missed as a people.
