Artistic Practice

I believe that true appreciation of life is found in the present moment, and this deeply influences my art. My inspiration, whilst very varied, is greatly influenced by the ocean and by the Korean Dansaekhwa artistic movement.

I’m drawn to the ocean’s power and tranquility, a duality that fuels my imagination and guides my expression. Likewise, Dansaekhwa’s focus on meditative, repetitive gestures resonates with my sculpting process, inviting mindfulness and presence.

Through paper, I explore emotional resonance, combining expressive gestures with freedom of interpretation for viewers. I invite you to engage with my work as a visual experience grounded in the present moment.

About the Art

Using different scalpel blades and hand movements, I am able to carve the paper in a variety of ways, manipulating its texture to create complex light-dark contrasts.  

I use a variety of techniques and mediums, such as gold leaf, acrylic paint, or watercolour, as part of my artistic exploration.

The paper I use is acid free, 100% cotton, 640g/m^2, and all works are framed using plexiglas or anti-UV, anti-reflection museum quality glass. 

All works are hand signed and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity. 

  I invite you to experience my works at the

Delamour Gallery, 53 Rue de Seine, Paris 75006
