I have loved drawing since early childhood and I was lucky to have parents who encouraged and supported me. I went to art school where I got familiar with oil painting, clay sculpting, linocuts, and digital art, but I always preferred working with ink pens on small formats and drawing tiny details.
I usually work with an A5 format, those drawings take 1-6 hours to finish. When I work with A4, it takes much longer, and with A3 (which I rarely work with) it takes multiple days to finish.
The most challenging part for me is transferring the idea from my head to paper and composing it. And the most pleasurable part is adding the tiny details after the main outlines are finished. I love meticulous work!
My favorite thing about visual art is recreating the things that I love and appreciate, mostly animals and nature, in a particular aesthetic and having the freedom to sometimes portray them in a way that is "unreal", such as the turtles with corals or mushrooms growing on their shells.
Right now I'm working on a lot of digital projects, creating t-shirt designs mostly for animal sanctuaries. I absolutely love drawing happy farm animals, knowing that they are living safe, peaceful lives!
