"Through various painting techniques, I found that creating a perfectly detailed piece made it difficult to fully express the restlessness, struggle, and emotions buried within me. Sometimes, the image on paper diverges from the vision in my heart. Rather than chasing perfection, I learned to let go—releasing all attachment to technique and allowing the raw essence of my inner world to emerge. That is how 'Obscurae' was born.
My compositions are graphic and deliberate, with a strong emphasis on shape and texture. Drawing inspiration from early 20th-century Pictorialism and French Impressionism, I embrace the interplay of light and shadow, not to replicate reality, but to distort it—to reveal the emotional undercurrents beneath the surface. The brushstrokes are intentional yet unrestrained, the forms defined yet elusive, mirroring the tension between control and surrender.
