“We listened to music. We listened to news, as well as captivating local dramas that highlighted family conflicts, relationships, love affairs, and daily trials. There was room for dreaming and also in a way radio made us storytellers.”

“Some paintings start with a line drawing or a collage, but the composition happens when I’m not in the studio. The marriage I use to invent scenes is a coupling between imagination and references for composition-making. I’ll be at the tuckshop down the street and see some sort of movement, something in nature, a shape – almost like a daydream. I’ll see the image before me, and then I’ll rush back to the studio to paint what I remember.”

“There’s nothing that brings these paintings together aside from the fact that they’re all living. I started mixing my ink with glue and different types of colours – some of them have tints of purple and even blue. I have been using liquid charcoal for a long time but the reason behind mixing my ink was because I wanted a bit of pigment. I wanted to paint more. I wanted to create more texture and more three-dimensionality on the surface of each painting despite the flatness. Painting used to be the scaffolding for the collage but now the collage is the scaffolding for the painting. I wanted to play with all the formal elements of art, questioning where I could take this.”
