Original artwork description:

The faces in this series are faces are the extension of the individuals which I observe. Stepping beyond the simple lines and playing with layering of paint and colour using only the palette knife, I unmask the deeper individualistic expression and stories of the individuals with whom we share our collective public spaces. These faces do not belong to just one person, they are all of us, they are me, they are you. Within the layers that we carry around with us each day as we move through our public life, there is a story, a desire to express something, which I allow to come to life through these portraits and detailed images.
