FAQ

  • My art doesn't focus on epic battles, over-the-top romances, or gaudy, stereotypical heroes. Instead, I explore more subtle themes rooted in Romanticism and Symbolism. Drawing on classical, academic craftsmanship, my images are intentionally quiet and gentle, carrying a hint of the supernatural. They invite the viewer to find stillness, to reflect, and to form an emotional connection that goes beyond spectacle.

  • I chose digital painting because it gives me unlimited creative freedom. It allows me to spontaneously try out different ideas without having to waste materials. This flexibility is crucial for my creative process. It also enables me to create the subtle and intense lighting moods that give my works their narrative depth.

  • No, I don't. For me, the creative process is a profoundly personal journey, marked by moments of euphoria, inner struggle, and a deep connection with the piece itself. This intimate exchange can only happen when I place every single stroke by hand. I also choose not to use AI-generated reference photos, as I believe they could subtly influence the authenticity of the final artwork.
