THE ART OF MAKING BY HAND
My artwork stems from a commitment to, and appreciation of, analog art.
Most pieces are handmade, using simple techniques that require time, patience, and precision. Creating analog works demands focus and self-confidence in every freehand stroke. There is no “undo” button. Mistakes leave traces, and often a blank sheet is needed to start over. Each piece emerges through multiple earlier attempts, gradually shaping the organic forms I envision.
Through careful observation of these handmade abstract forms, my art invites to the viewer to reflect on the beauty of the hand’s gesture in drawing.
For me, producing handmade and analog artwork carries the same significance as traditional craftsmanship, echoing the ideas of the sociologist Richard Sennett:
“Craftsmanship names an enduring, basic human impulse, the desire to do a job well for its own sake.”
- Richard Sennett (The Craftsman, 2008, p. 9)
Each piece is guided by this impulse: to make something well, for its own sake, and to be fully satisfied with the result. Every depicted figure is placed with intention, contributing deliberately to the whole.
