"Bloom and Grow"
Colored pencils and pastels on toned paper
32 x 41cm
2022

This artwork was inspired by a beautiful photograph from talented @unfioresullaluna. Actually i have wanted to draw this for the longest time, but i kept doubting in my skills if i am able to draw these beautiful intricate flowers as i don't have a lot of past experience of drawing anything like that. But as i am absolutely in love with the original photo, i still went ahead and finally made it happen. I spent like a week on the flowers alone, so yes, it didn't come easy for me, but i think the time was well spent.

Here's large portion of my works i made in 2022. Which one is your favorite?
In total in made 20 finished artworks last year, 2 of which that i have not yet posted.

I never been this productive before, so it definitely wasn't easy, but it was absolutely worth it.
Here's me hoping that i could repeat that work ethic in 2023 and start doing more larger drawings and paintings.

Big big thank you to all the photographers and models who inspired me in 2022 and were so kind to let me use some of their images as inspiration.

One of the greatest joys as an artist is when a client sends you a photo of your work in their new home.

My painting is the one with the eye. I don't paint often these days as i been focusing on drawings, but when i do, it's usually eyes.

Thank you so much for sharing this photo @mystikamoosi_living

"Communication Through Gaze"
Colored pencils on toned paper

Sometimes eyes say more than words.
For this picture i wish i had a little more time to add more details, but to be fair i never feel like any of my drawings are ever "done and finished", i always feel like i could do more, but when you have spent so much time on a small little drawing there has to come a point to call it "ready enough".

Drawing this small picture was a long journey. There was multiple times were i changed the direction of where it was going. But i am quite satisfied in the end, cause i tried things i haven't done before. First time i do this kind of speckled background, i might want to do it again in the future.

"Light In The Darkness"
Colored pencils on toned paper
21 x 30cm
2022

In this drawing i see a woman who has lots of darkness in her life, but despite everything she keeps dancing to the music and finding light in the little things.

I must say thought that drawing a face this tiny (as its only A4 drawing) was an absolute struggle and agony. I spent two hours on it(i don't know how), so i am glad the paper survived it and there's no hole or tear in the place of the face. I need to get better at simplifyng smaller features and try not to always force too many details into it, especially when paper doesn't allow it.

"No Time For Swan Song"
Colored pencils on toned paper
21 x 30cm
2022

There's an ancient belief a swan sings one last beautiful song just before their death.
In my drawing the girl is not ready yet to give that one last perfromance,
she keeps pushing through, even when feeling like giving up.

Using watercolors and salt for the background effects can be both super exciting and nerve-racking, cause results are often unpredictable. This time i am very satisfied with the result, i like the blooms it created, it's exactly like how i wanted, so yay.

This has was drawn couple of months ago, but i never felt confident about sharing it with the world, as i didn't think it was good enough. I'm a perfectionist, so a lot of the times it's difficult for me to love my own art. But my family still encouraged me to post it, so here it is!

"Everything Is Too Much"
Colored pencils on toned paper

2022

Tried to capture the feeling of "overwhelmed". It's not necessarily something negative, there can just be too many good(or bad) things going on at the same, but there's only one you.

P.S. drawing this many lines at the bottom was both exhausting and super fun.

Lines in this drawing were inspired by lines of the stripy canyons. I have made another drawing after this one, which is also using the same idea. Will be posting it sometime in the coming weeks.
