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 reveals a textured abstract surface where shades of purple, black, white, and hints of orange and grey converge. Featuring dominant vertical strokes that create a sense of ruggedness and depth, its color palette is centered around rich purple hues, which add a feel of royal mystery. The layered application of paint gives the artwork a tactile quality, with some areas showing heavy impasto, while others appear washed or scraped. Sections of the canvas are crisscrossed with lines and markings that suggest decay or weathering, adding a historical or time-worn dimension to the piece. This composition could evoke feelings of grandeur fading into the mist of time, resembling the walls of an ancient castle or the remnants of a once-majestic tapestry.
