My artistry lies in my composition, yes, but primarily in the conceptual and aesthetic way in which I use colour. You will see both bold and pastel hues in the same image &#8211; a visual paradox that our minds aren\u2019t used to and a play on colour\u00a0that is very interesting to me as an artist.
