Above is a video created about my artwork during my college years, when I was immersed in a series focused on painting alternative models. At that time, I was fascinated by people, their expressions, presence, and individuality, and I still believe that painting the human form is one of the most challenging and rewarding subjects an artist can explore.
That period of my life was a pivotal chapter in my growth as an artist. I was learning how to work with and direct models, balancing the technical demands of the studio with the more subtle task of capturing personality and emotion. I was still discovering what truly drew me to art, peeling back layers of curiosity to better understand my creative voice.
Over time, my focus shifted. While my love for painting people remains, I have found myself increasingly drawn to landscapes, wildlife, and the quiet beauty of the natural world. These subjects challenge me in different ways, asking for patience, observation, and a deep connection to place. Looking back, I see how every stage, whether working with models or wandering through nature, has been part of an ongoing evolution that has shaped not just my technique but also my understanding of why I create.
