My studio practice focuses on my all-embracing theme: the notion of beauty. Much experimentation and exploration dominates my studio practice. The use of different medium in my artworks is an example of this. My studio practice acts as a personal expression of my theory work and vice versa, that is to say that I have developed and operated my studio practice so as to study the relationship between the meaning of my artworks and its significance in my theory investigations. A strong focus is on this relationship study, particularly in social and cultural domains, allowing for a critical awareness of my artistic process and idea development. I use my studio practice to develop and present my individual ideas to ‘Beauty’, in doing so, extending personal boundaries. I have experimented with various materials such as oil paint, acrylic paint, watercolour paint, chalk pastels, oil pastels, pencil, charcoal, clay, photography, etching, paper-craft and installations in the style of artists that I have researched in order to maintain a close relationship between my studio and theory development. I also use my studio practice to reflect on my own cultural background so as to become more aware of the expression of cultural paradigms in visual arts. Much of my studio practice is symbolic as a result of in-depth investigation and planning. That is to say that the thorough and lengthy relationship between my studio and theory work has created layers of meaning in my artworks.
