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 predominantly abstract composition marked by heavy textural effects and a limited color palette featuring shades of brown, white, and gray. The central and dominating element in the visual field appears to be an interpretation of a window or a framed structure, suggested by grid-like markings that create a semblance of divided panes. This darker, structured area contrasts with the lighter, more chaotic surrounding elements that bleed into and around it, showcasing dripping and smudging techniques that hint at decay or age. The overall effect conveys a feeling of an old, perhaps abandoned space, invoking a gothic atmosphere through its play of light, shadow, and texture.
