My inspiration: My Father

 

Art to me is:

​

Everything!

It's like love, passion, a divine gift, and a form of meditation all rolled into one. When I pick up my brush or sit down to sketch, I'm not just creating something beautiful—I'm pouring my heart and soul into each piece. It's my way of connecting with the world around me, expressing emotions that words can't capture, and finding peace in the chaos of life. Art, for me, is a profound journey of self-discovery and an endless source of joy and fulfillment.

My Artisan Journey 

​

My journey in art has been a labor of love and dedication. It all started by observing and learning from my father, who was an incredible artist himself. I spent countless hours practicing, trying to replicate his strokes and techniques. Books also played a significant role—I devoured anything I could find on art, from classical techniques to contemporary styles. Over time, with relentless practice and a deep passion for the craft, my skills evolved. Every piece I create is a testament to this journey of continuous learning and growth, a blend of tradition and personal innovation.

Goal in life:

​

My ultimate goal in life is to share this beautiful art form with as many people as possible. I dream of teaching everyone, regardless of age or background, the joy and intricacies of this craft. Art has given me so much—peace, purpose, and a profound connection to our heritage—and I want to pass that gift on. By teaching, I hope to inspire others to discover their own creativity and to preserve the rich traditions that make our art so special. My heart's desire is to see this art form thrive in every corner of the world, touching lives and sparking imaginations.

Advice for aspiring artists:

​

My advice for aspiring artists is to embrace the challenges that come with creating art. It’s not always easy—there will be moments of frustration and doubt—but it's these very challenges that make the journey so rewarding. Patience and focus are your best allies. Be passionate and possessive about your craft, and never stop practicing. Learn from experienced artists, seek their guidance, and observe their techniques. Remember, every stroke, every mistake, and every triumph is a step toward mastering your art. Keep creating, stay inspired, and let your heart lead the way.
