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 displays an abstract landscape characterized by a muted palette primarily of grays, whites, and earth tones. In the center, a horizontal stretch suggests a glowing horizon where a lighter value simulates either a distant light source or a reflection. The upper and lower parts of the work are dominated by dark and rugged textures, possibly evoking the organic decay or the natural element of stone or earth. The central lighter band seems to divide the composition into zones of shadow and light, creating a sense of depth and stillness amidst the turbulent surface textures. The overall effect is one of contemplation and calm, inviting the viewer to pause and reflect.
