Writing is an intrinsic part of my artistic process. This blog is partly to share that process with you, while also helping me to refine my ideas.

Some entries are about a specific art piece, its inspiration and stages of development. Others reflect on my personal journey and how it shapes my artistic growth.


I hope you find it interesting and enlightening. Enjoy!
