I love the surrealist work of Salvador Dali. The ambiguity of his works allows viewers to go on a journey of detail and discovery where you’re allowed exposure to enigmas without being made to feel stupid. It’s a playful type of art that is created to bring joy.

I also have a high regard for Dame Zaha Hadid, the Iraqi-British architect whom many consider to be among the best of the 21st century. I view her as a sculptor who worked on large-scale public works. Her buildings often made use of highly sensuous organic curves that, within the monotony of other city architecture, made for both flamboyant and minimalist structural art at the same time.

In my view, nature is the greatest sculptor of all. I often reference nature and find myself being influenced by the analogies I have drawn looking into the purity of the natural world. The way curves, lines and organic form co-exist to bring harmony to our environment, in just the right balance, is an amazing phenomenon to observe and understand.
