Latest works

In my new body of work, I explore representational portraiture and figure art through the lens of everyday interactions. Drawing inspiration from the “new old master” concept, I embrace the resurgence of traditional materials, particularly color pencils. This medium allows me to carve out figures with a painterly quality, revealing the intricate psychology underlying casual meetings. Each piece captures the nuances of human connection, transforming fleeting moments into expressive narratives that invite viewers to reflect on the complexity of interpersonal dynamics.

Wholly Drawing In Class

I am currently working on writing a short story that places 
Wholly Drawing in a familiar everyday setting. 
The story takes place in a classroom, with an Art teacher 
introducing Wholly Drawing as the lesson for the day. 
Through this narrative, readers will be able to gain a 
better understanding of the theory and process behind 
Wholly Drawing. The story aims to delve deeper into 
the subject and provide clearer insights. Additionally, it 
addresses common questions or speculations about the 
drawing process, offering a more comprehensive and 
general explanation.
