Whilst my work may have a recognisable ‘style’ to some, I’m not a fan of labelling work just so it fits in a box (though understand the need sometimes).
I don’t like my art being pigeonholed into a specific category because it limits the way people perceive and experience it. Art, for me, is not about fitting into predefined labels or genres; it’s about expressing a feeling, a moment, or an idea that transcends boundaries. When my work is categorized, it can lose the personal and emotional connection I aim to create. I want viewers to engage with my art on a deeper level, to feel something unique and authentic, rather than just see it as part of a genre. My art is a form of communication that goes beyond labels—it’s about evoking emotions and sparking personal interpretations.
I rarely, if ever, title my work for the same reason as above: I prefer not to direct the viewers’ thoughts. This allows each person to interpret the piece in their own unique way, creating a more personal and open-ended experience. By leaving the work untitled, I invite viewers to engage with the art without preconceived notions or expectations, fostering a more genuine and individual connection.
