Artwork Series

“I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.” - Frida Kahlo

Twisted Tales

What if our beloved Disney Princesses became not only the villains of their individual stories but also monsters? Ever wonder what would they look like? I created these drawings and others alike to show my ideas on Disney Princesses as monstrous villains, by combining their villains with their environment.

Who would've thought de-facing heroic princesses into evil villains/monsters would be so satisfying. Which princess should I do next?

During my Diploma of Visual Arts course, one of our assignments was to recreate existing artworks by painting them in different styles. I painted this series in hope of expressing the beauty of inspirations the original artists had to create their beautiful artworks and also express the flowing movements of both body and soul.

If you would like to know more about Greek Mythology or even about the originals of each of these artworks:

Simplified painting inspired by Edvard Munch’s 'The Kiss,' showing two abstract human figures embracing, with one face merging into the other.

Simplified painting inspired by Sandro Botticelli’s 'The Birth of Venus,' showing a nude female figure with long flowing hair standing on a seashell against a seascape background with a cloudy sky.

Movie Posters

When I was studying in TAFE for my Certificate of Photography and Photo Imaging one of our assignments included creating a basic movie poster through Adobe Photoshop. Since it was my first time using this program I decided to create a simple yet story-telling artwork, with me as a main focal point and using only 5 years layers. I don't remember much about what inspired me to create 'The Lady Althea' or what the story may be; I do know that the name Althea is of Greek origin meaning 'healing'... What's your opinion on her story?
