Figure in Blue IV | Original | 24 by 34cm | masonry paint and pencil on paper
This original painting explores identity through expressive line, hand-printed pattern and simplified figurative form. Built from repeated block-like marks, the figure feels both assembled and emerging, suggesting the ways our identities are shaped through memory, experience and the stories we carry.
Rather than portraying a specific individual, I create open, simplified figures that invite viewers to recognise something of themselves within the work. The anonymity of the figure allows the painting to feel both deeply personal and quietly universal, leaving space for individual interpretation and connection.
The contrast between bold black forms and delicate blush pink line creates a balance between strength and vulnerability. Working intuitively, I embrace the irregularity of hand-printing and expressive mark-making, allowing each layer to retain the evidence of its making and celebrating the imperfect, human quality of the process.
