Portfolio - Drawings
From a young age, drawing and sketching have been integral parts of my life. As a child, I delighted in creating detailed maps and expansive landscapes, capturing the world as I imagined it. As I matured, my artistic focus shifted to the intricacies of architecture, the elegance of the human form, and the subtleties of portraiture. The simplicity and depth of pencil work have always captivated me, allowing me to explore shades and values with meticulous attention. This profound appreciation for monochromatic artistry meant that I spent about eight years honing my skills exclusively with pencils before venturing into the realm of paints and colors.
My love for black and white drawings and photography stems from the unique ability these mediums have to reveal the raw beauty and emotions of a subject or location. In the absence of color, the essence of the scene becomes more pronounced, highlighting textures, contrasts, and the interplay of light and shadow. This focus on the fundamental elements of art has deepened my understanding and appreciation of the world around me. Each stroke of the pencil and each captured image allows me to communicate a narrative that is both timeless and evocative.
My journey as an artist is one of continual exploration and discovery, driven by a passion for unveiling the inherent beauty that lies in simplicity.
