Formerly incarcerated in Victoria, Australia
Artist statement:
I am a strong believer that any inmate, no matter their creed or background who wishes to express him or herself through art, should be able to do so. But most inmates find it difficult to even exhibit their artworks via online, as we lack access to the internet.
In such a dense environment, there are too many traumatic and emotional people like I was back in the days. I believe that Art can help rehabilitate inmates who have been hugely affected by this strange and wacky surrounding that we all found ourselves in. Art in essence would provide an inmate with a mental focus, hope, confidence, tangible rewardand also a sense of purpose. It would also help inmates to appreciate every part of their individual day, which could empower them to help their fellow inmates, kids, or loved ones on the outside.
Each one of my artworks is crafted with a strong passion to recognise those men and women who have contributed immensely in shaping our world in a more positive way. My style of painting is called symbolic realism, I do play around sometimes with different styles of painting such as, portraiture, abstraction, surrealism and landscape.
