Honoured to have my artwork “Unmasking the Light Within” selected for the RBSA Prize Exhibition 2026 @rbsagallery

Seeing my work chosen for the front cover of the exhibition catalogue and social media campaign feels incredibly special✨

I’m also so happy to have my work recognised as one of the six highly commended works in the exhibition. Feeling incredibly grateful for this moment and for the recognition.

A huge thank you to the President, the entire RBSA team, and the curators for putting together such a wonderful exhibition.

And a special thank you to the judges - Robert Wenley, Sarah Priest and Clare Mullet for selecting my artwork as one of the six highly commended works in this year’s exhibition.

I had such an amazing evening at the opening night of the RBSA Prize Exhibition 2026. It was a beautiful experience meeting and connecting with such a diverse group of artists, seeing their incredible works, and being part of a space that celebrates different perspectives and artistic practices.

A huge congratulations to all the artists selected and exhibited. It was truly inspiring to share the space with you all. 🤍

The RBSA Prize Exhibition 2026 runs until 31 October 2026 at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA), Birmingham.

Artistic Medium:
Human Face & Body, Colour Pigments, Textile/Veil Elements and Mixed-Media Materials

Beyond Form

Beyond Form explores identity beyond the physical surface, transforming the human face into a canvas where colour, shape and graphic forms challenge traditional portraiture. The vivid turquoise and contrasting pink create movement and transformation, presenting identity as fluid, evolving and beyond a single definition.

Artistic Practice:
Face & Body Art / Mixed-Media Art

Artistic Medium:
Human Face & Body, Acrylic Paint, Water-Activated Body Paints, Cream-Based Pigments and Mixed-Media Materials
