Being a dancer, movement was something I wanted to incorporate into my paintings.

The basics to our existence are the five elements (Earth, Wind, Fire, Water & Ether).

Flamenco was a style I always found really intriguing. Each step is done with so much strength, weightlessness, passion, fluidity & grace - then the idea came to incorporate the two.

This work explores flamenco through the element of earth, where movement becomes grounded, forceful, and uncompromising. The dancer stomps into the ground with intensity, causing the surface to fracture and lift into the air in response. Earth becomes an active presence—resisting and responding to impact—capturing strength, rhythm, and the raw physical power at the core of flamenco
