The name ‘Crystalface,’ combined with the logo attached to my work - a face with crystals growing from its orifices - symbolises the dual nature of inner and outer transformation: both beautiful and uncomfortable. Crystals are connected to healing, long-term refinement and data-retention. When something crystallises, it comes into form, but this process requires significant pressure.

This is where art becomes an aid: it helps navigate and alchemise that pressure, chiseling infinite possibility into something tangible and valuable.

I see my drawings as windows into another world - an inner space within this one, where you, as the watcher, have a place.

Each piece is a journey guided by my subconscious, evolving from a simple concept into something complex and open to interpretation.

Creating art is a form of meditation for me. It’s how I make sense of life, transmute inner conflict into something worthwhile, and connect with parts of myself that aren’t always consciously accessible. Every artwork is a story that unfolds as I work, often surprising me with its meaning and message, which is always open to interpretation.

I primarily use paper and fine-tipped mechanical pencils, adding colour with Photoshop, but I also work with pens, watercolours, gouache, and aerosol.
