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 an abstract landscape bathed in muted tones of brown, beige, blue, and white. Horizontal bands that suggest a distant horizon line divide the canvas. The texture is rough with areas where the paint has a tactile quality, appearing raised and cracked. Subtle gradations of color create a sense of depth, while the overall effect evokes a mood of mystery and elusive, dream-like quality, reminiscent of a mirage one might expect in a desert or over ocean waters. The interplay of light and shadow infuses the work with a feeling of an ever-shifting natural phenomenon.
