About me

As a pencil and acrylic artist, I have always been drawn to the versatility and expressive potential of these mediums. From the soft, delicate lines that can be achieved with a pencil, to the bold, vivid colors of acrylic paint, I find endless inspiration in the materials I work with.

My artistic journey began at a young age, where I spent countless hours sketching and doodling in my notebook. As I grew older and honed my skills, I started to experiment with different mediums and techniques, discovering a passion for combining the softness of graphite with the brightness of acrylic paint. Whether I am creating portraits, landscapes, or abstract compositions, my goal as an artist is to use my talents to bring joy, wonder, and a sense of connection to those who view my work. I believe that art has the power to connect people across borders, cultures, and languages, and I am proud to be a part of that tradition.

Through drawing and painting, I have learned to be patient, to let go of perfectionism, and to embrace the unpredictable nature of the creative process.

As both an Artist and a Software Engineer, I have a unique perspective on the intersection of creativity and technology. My work as a software engineer has taught me the importance of problem-solving, logic, and the value of iteration in finding solutions. Meanwhile, my passion for art has allowed me to tap into my imagination, explore my emotions, and connect with the world in a more meaningful way.

I am grateful for the opportunity to pursue both of these passions, and I see them as complementary and intertwined. Each inspires and informs the other, and together they provide me with a sense of balance and fulfillment that I could not find in either field alone.
