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 rich tapestry of textured layers that evoke the tumultuous beauty of a cascading waterfall. Dominated by dark earthy tones and metallic silvers, it contrasts sharply with a luminous, almost ethereal vertical channel of light gracing the center. Flecks and patches reminiscent of water froth are distributed unevenly across the canvas, suggesting the frothy splash of water hitting rocks. The use of light and shadow intensifies the sensation of water flowing forcefully downwards. The overall rugged texture intertwined with soft gleams of light captures the powerful, relentless essence of a waterfall, as well as its enchanting visual effect.
