MEET THE ARTIST

I'm a multidisciplinary artist from Gibraltar, currently pursuing a BA Fine Art degree at Cardiff Metropolitan University.

My practice centres on themes of limitation, control, and the systems that shape how we as humans behave. I mainly work across sculpture and painting, exploring how people adapt when placed under pressure, restriction, or observation.

My current research draws on ideas of surveillance, particularly influenced by Michel Foucault and the concept of the panopticon. I'm interested in how simply being aware of observation can change the way we act. This extends into everyday systems we often accept without questioning, like cameras in public spaces or digital monitoring.

Material plays an extremely important role in my process. Sculpture allows me to physically construct and impose constraint, while painting lets me explore the figure within confined or pressured spaces. I don't want work towards a fixed outcome; instead, the work develops through experimentation, frustration, repetition, and adjustment.

My practice overall reflects a broader curiosity about why some forms of control become normalised, while others provoke fear, and how this tension shapes the way we move, act, and exist within contemporary society.
