Artwork in the room
Since childhood, drawing has captivated me; even my math and other school notebooks were always covered with various sketches—much to the dismay of my teachers, who rarely praised me for it. After completing my art studies, I became a professional artist, but after a few years, life led me away from the heart of the art world.
During this lengthy period away from my artistic path, I constantly reassured myself that I would one day return. Now, that time has come, and I find myself once again immersed in creativity and the world of art.

About this artwork+
The painting presents a muted palette dominated by shades of grey and white, evoking a serene yet somber atmosphere. The composition is marked by sweeping horizontal strokes that blend seamlessly into one another, creating a textured effect reminiscent of a foggy, mist-laden landscape. Towards the lower part of the canvas, darker elements suggest shadows or reflections in water, perhaps signifying the "Dammed" aspect of the title. The layers of paint vary in opacity, with some areas appearing more translucent, contributing to a sense of depth and fluidity. Traces of vertical drips reveal gravity's influence on the medium, adding a dynamic quality to the otherwise tranquil expanse. The overall effect is one of calmness tinged with melancholy, drawing the viewer into a contemplative engagement with the abstract visual elements.
