My journey has started off by picking up a pencil when I was little. It was back then when I realised that life is a process and I must learn to enjoy it. As a little spider, I was creative enough to not be giving up on Art, when my web was destroyed by the wind. Each step I was creating more and more Art, even though my pieces were taken away from me. That’s how I’ve realised that Art that you create will inevitably break your heart at some point in your life, but it’s always worth the risk. I was creating Art along the way, in the midst of adversity and almost no comfort was there to make something meaningful and memorable. By observing humanity and performing just for the sake of learning and communicating pieces to the world, I do explore many different media, but I do feel less guilty by saying that my favourite is pencil, colourful simple and true. When I was little I was told that I had a masculine beginning, lady has looked at my artwork and said so, later in life I found myself and to be honest, it has me a little sad, that I will never be as simple as I was when I was little. As complexity met simplicity, they merged into one, to make a difference. And there is no end to this profound waterfall of words and no end to the process itself.
