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 complex interplay of textures and muted colors, predominantly in shades of brown, white, grey, and black. It evokes a sense of decay or ancient ruins through its layered and scraped surface, creating a depth that invites the viewer to look deeper into what might be hidden beneath. The composition almost appears as a weathered wall with peeling paint or a dilapidated structure succumbing to the ravages of time. Streaks and splashes of black and grey paint add a dynamic element to the otherwise subdued palette, suggesting movement amidst the stillness. The overall effect is both haunting and beautiful, leaving a strong impression of both impermanence and resilience.
