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 texture of intertwined, scribble-like lines that cover the entirety of the canvas. The strokes are executed in a monochromatic scale of whites and greys layered over a darker, shadowy background that hints at deeper browns. This intricate web of lines creates an illusion of movement, almost as if they are fluctuating or vibrating. There is no discernible form or figure, suggesting a possible abstraction of the concept of time—the lines could symbolize the continual passing and intertwining of moments. The overall mood is both chaotic and mesmerizing, drawing the viewer into a contemplative state.
