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 shows a heavily abstracted image, which seems to reflect a vast and serene landscape of indistinct shapes and shadows. Dominated by a muted palette of grays, whites, and blacks, it portrays a blend of rough and smooth textures that suggest dilapidation or aged surfaces. On the right, a vertical rectangle that might suggest a door or window stands partly distinct against the lighter background, exuding a sense of isolation or abandonment. Toward the bottom, the tones deepen slightly, hinting at a reflection or shadow, which enhances the painting's dream-like, mirage quality. The overall mood is quiet and contemplative, evoking the beauty of decay and the passage of time.
