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 understated, textured background made up of muted greys and blacks. A dominant black rectangular block occupies the left side, serving as a stark contrast to the mottled grey hues that blanket most of the canvas. Overlaid on this are two other rectangular forms: one, centrally positioned, is composed of fading horizontal stripes; its grey tones gradually dissolve into the lighter background, suggesting both presence and absence. To its upper right, a smaller, plain white rectangle floats serenely, almost detached from the deeper, shadowy movements beneath it. This composition is an interplay of geometry and soft, fading boundaries, whispering a narrative of beginning, distance, and perhaps memory.
