The beauty of still life, with its ability to represent the harmony of everyday life through shape, volume, texture, and composition, has been a recurring theme in my work. In my relentless pursuit of artistic expression, I have tirelessly experimented with these elements. I want to capture the essence of the objects that surround us in our daily lives.

Throughout my career, I have evolved as an artist. But I have always maintained my focus on representing the delicacy of everyday life. Each day is a new challenge, a new opportunity to push my own boundaries and delve into the richness of daily existence. I have always felt that there is a world of artistic possibilities waiting to be explored in the simplicity of what surrounds us.

Every stroke of my colored pencil becomes a form of communication with the viewer, conveying my appreciation for the beauty that is often overlooked in our fast-paced lives. The colored pencil becomes my voice, my medium for expressing what is often indescribable in words.
