THE ART OF MAKING BY HAND

My work comes from my appreciation for analog art. Most of my art pieces are handmade, using simple techniques that require patience, focus, and precision.

Working by hand means trusting each stroke. There is no “undo” button as there is in digital drawing. Mistakes become part of the process, and sometimes I have to start again from a blank sheet. Each final piece is therefore the result of many attempts, small decisions, and a lot of patience.

Through my abstract work, I invite the viewer to appreciate the beauty of the hand-drawn gesture. For me, making art by hand is closely connected to traditional craftsmanship. I believe in the value of taking the time to make something carefully and with dedication. As sociologist Richard Sennett writes in The Craftsman:

“Craftsmanship names an enduring, basic human impulse, the desire to do a job well for its own sake.” (2008, p. 9)

This idea is at the heart of my work: creating something with care simply because I want to do it well.

Every figure in my compositions is carefully placed. Each one has its own character, but also contributes to the balance and meaning of the whole.
