My works are heavily influenced by our technological environment and the effect screens have on both our sense of presence and perception of reality. Using digital imaging software as a post-production tool, I hope to redefine the aesthetic of painting in the age of new media to create paintings which feel completely artificial. Exploring the mysteriousness of virtual space specifically with this feeling of immaterial timelessness, my work aims to portray the shift between virtual and real spaces.
