Lead scenic artist-BLEACH LONDON Amsterdam launch
oCTOBER 2025
I was commissioned to lead the execution and production of the shops painted frontage. Inspired by Bleach's raw, expressive aesthetic and the tonal pallet of their Gobby Pink shade, the brief called for a bold, hand-crafted finish that embodied the brands rebellious DIY spirit.
I managed the entire process from assembling and directing my own scenic team to budgeting, scheduling and coordinating logistics for the international install. Working closely with the designer and the Bleach London team, we developed a concept that celebrated imperfection, texture, and individuality through dynamic colour layering and brushwork.
The project was completed within a single day , under challenging weather and lighting conditions, yet resulted in a vibrant, eye catching facade that captured energy and identity of Bleach London's creative world.

Wood grained nine doors for a set commissioned by Netflix. The finish was created entirely by hand, using a cutting brush and check roller, then softened with a badger brush to achieve a natural wood effect. Once complete, the doors were aged with a glaze to enhance depth and authenticity (photographs show the doors prior to ageing).

Painted eight large wall panels using wood graining techniques with a comb and check roller to replicate the elegant finishes seen in the film The Grand Budapest Hotel. These panels were assembled to create a detailed train scene as part of the Bradford City of Culture 2025 celebrations, contributing to the immersive and cinematic atmosphere of the installation.

Designed and created a large scale collaborative mural for a golf course sponsored by Peroni. The designed followed an under the sea theme, with a colour palette aligned to Peronis branding. To achieve an authentic, weathered appearance, the mural was aged using layered washes and glazing techniques, all completed within a two to three day timeframe.
For the JunkYard stage I developed and applied a custom mix made of sand dust, PVA and paint to create moss texture. I then applied this across the stage frontage in a natural and organic manner to make it look like the wood had moss growing all over.

Contributed to the immersive environment of Letsbe Avenue through detailed scenic painting. Created the appearance of aged stone across six wooden panels which were later assembled into the building that stood as a post office. I used methods such as distressing with layered washes, sponging, glazing and stumbling to achieve an authentic aged texture. The windows on this building were also painted by me to look like eyes, using blocking to mimic chipped and worn paint.
For the green and white arches I applied glazes and washes to evoke texture that has been affected by the weather.
Additionally I executed a large scale mural composed of green and blue tones which was then aged using different glazes and washes to integrate it with the surrounding environment.

The surface of the Artist Hospitality stand was made using a traditional Japanese shou-sugi-ban technique, which involves charring the surface of the wood with a torch to achieve a deep, textured, charcoal-like finish.. Then I designed and hand-painted artwork on top using eco-friendly earth pigment paints, allowing the natural grain and burnt texture to subtly show through the colours.
On the main stage structure I reversed the process: I first painted the design directly onto untreated wood, then lightly charred the surface afterward. This experimental method partially burned away areas of the paint, creating a semi-transparent, ethereal effect that added depth and a sense of magic to the final piece.

As part of this project, I was tasked with restoring a series of weathered wooden structures, bringing them back to life using only the paints available on site. The goal was to make the structures look fresh and inviting while working within the limitations of existing materials.
For the decorations I focused on sustainability, creating pieces entirely from found and repurposed materials. Using items gathered from the surrounding woods, wooden hoops, and various scraps, I assembled a series of natural, recycled decor elements. The objective was to celebrate creativity through reuse and to demonstrate how beautiful, functional design can emerge from limited and environmentally conscious resources.

This project involved the complete restoration and redesign of 20 entrance gates. The first phase focused on surface preparation: old paint was carefully removed, gates were thoroughly sanded, and then primed using a custom glue based mixture to ensure strong adhesion for the new design.
To add depth and dimension, a textured base was created by applying a mix of paint and cement directly to the surface. The final design, a vibrant, galaxy-inspired finish, was achieved through a multi-step process involving glazing, sponging, scumbling, and spattering techniques. This layered approach brought a rich, cosmic aesthetic to the gates, transforming them into striking visual features.
