The Negotiation
100x150cm

This painting, this painting started off, was just random hallucinations, and I realised quite quickly that it had a hell-like quality, so I changed the tones to fire. Then I saw the figure on the left with his hands up as if saying, “Can’t I?” And I thought the negotiation was a title, and then it seems like all the figures are different angles of the same figure, different moments of the negotiation. This really is a metaphor for life and all the times we have to negotiate our way through the next stage of it.

Comes as a rolled canvas because it’s too big to send stretched. Easily stretched by a framer for little to no extra cost when framing.

I’m a London-based artist, and my work often reflects vivid and surreal imagery inspired by my unique experience with REM intrusion—a condition where dream-like visions can appear while I’m awake. My paintings explore the boundary between waking reality and the dream world, using layered compositions to create a sense of depth and movement.

I paint with high-quality materials and put a lot of thought into texture and detail. My process is a mix of intuitive brushwork and deliberate layering, aiming to create pieces that are rich in emotion and invite you to see something new each time you look at them.
