Wandering the streets like a spectator from Rilke’s Duino Elegies, always seeing, feeling, and connecting to everything—in search of a certain mood, a certain light—from the ordinary to the sublime state.

Studied Fine Art painting and photography at the University of the Arts London, graduating with a BA Degree and a Masters.

URBAN NIGHT PULSE
From the Series ‘night sketches‘

“When light is reflected on black, it transforms and transmutes it. It opens up a mental field all of its own.”
– Pierre Soulages

“…the sky grows darker, one stroke at a time, into deeper shades of night.”

– Haruki Murakami

Whilst wandering the streets in the night air, I connect to it all – the night pulse, from the city lights to other souls who inhabit the city after dark.
The shades of night are like entire universes to me.
