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 features an abstract composition dominated by a palette of black, white, and earthy hues blending into one another. The texture appears rough and layered, giving the impression of a weathered surface. There are blurred shapes and forms that might suggest a semblance of figures or structures, but they are indistinct and largely obscured by the overlying brush strokes and splotches. Dark blotches and streaks permeate the painting, creating a sense of depth and movement, while lighter areas seem to surface and recede, offering a ghostly contrast. The piece conveys a mood of decay and residual memory, as if it is capturing the faint traces left behind by time.
