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 a textured canvas dominated by a gradient of colors, descending from a murky blend of browns and grays at the top, softening into lighter gray and fading into white towards the middle. This white area covers a substantial portion of the canvas with dense, vertical drippings that extend from the subdued upper section to the more distinct, darker browns at the bottom. The drips, some narrow and others broad, create a raw, rain-like effect that connects the diverse shades. These variations in color and the vertical flow suggest depth and movement, evoking a sense of both melting and solidity, as if the elements are both dissolving and fusing together, guided by gravity. The painting captures a striking blend of decay and resilience, leaving a haunting impression of something enduring through a transformative process.
