In his artwork, Steven reflects on his personal experience of the mentality of urban and city living, the need for control and human impact on nature, versus self-sufficient beauty of natural forms and materials such as the tree's composite.

I am a self-taught contemporary wood sculptor, and my aesthetic aspirations are headed towards highlighting the beauty of nature contrasted by industrial elements. In my artwork, I reflect on my personal experience of urban and city living, the need for control and human impact on nature, versus self-sufficient beauty of natural forms and materials such as the tree's composite.

From a young age, I've experienced urban life: the urban culture and mental impact. You didn't get to see and experience much in the countryside—massive population houses on top of houses, a concrete jungle. I was always trying to create the sculptures from nothing, I started with anything my late father had in his shed and did not want, but it had to be wood as it was more robust to make sculpture in any shape, as I wanted it to fit in the space and to get visually combined.

I then studied Information technology for six years. I graduated at the age of 19 years old with a Bachelor's Honors degree in Computer Studies and eventually started working in the field.
