1. Why the fascination with Christian art? Tell us about your unique style?
I grew up in a family of Anglican pastors and schooled in a Roman Catholic institution. The schism within the same faith was always something that intrigued me. My art is an expression of who I am as a spiritual being. I found my peace each time my eyes peered at a sun laden stain glass church window, or marvelled over the life-like detail of a hand carved icon. What fascinated me was that the hands of a human created these divine forms.
There is a marked Indianess about my Christian icons, in terms of the colour palette and detail. Also, sometimes the narratives tend to incline towards creating a fantasial mythology that Christian art refrained from. My work romanticises the subject of the narrative giving it an almost mythical feel associated as an Indian element.
