North London Studio

Paintings and spatial studies

Studio practice structured around oil, raw mineral pigment, and hand-stretched Belgian linen. Each work investigates surface tension, physical presence, and the quiet progression of natural north daylight across unprimed fiber.

Studio premise

Every canvas is built around the discipline of subtraction, allowing the density of raw unprimed linen and subtle shifts in morning daylight to establish spatial rhythm without artificial ornament.
