He writes

I’m an artist, I’m a storyteller, a painter, a poet and an occasional collage maker. I’m based in London and I’m British and Swiss. I’d say that my pieces are colorful, expressive, occasionally provocative, not always. I like to bring humor into what I create and I like people to walk away thinking or feeling something different than when they start, before they see my work. I tend to explore what it means to be me and what it means to be human. It’s always an exploration of different ideas that have either come to me intuitively or from conversations I’ve had with people I’ve met or just from my observations in society.  I don’t like to give people answers, I like for them to come away with questions  and for them to think.  I believe art is about making people think and feel differently.
