Today, I was preparing my artworks for my upcoming exhibitions. I’m increasingly finding my own artistic path and developing my unique style and “handwriting” in my art. The pieces in this photo have all evolved over the past few months.
It’s an incredibly fascinating creative process and brings me much more than just the tangible results.
It brings me stories.
Creative process
Part of this journey includes carefully curating an art series. Selecting which pieces align and complement each other is an art in itself. Each work contributes to a broader narrative, showcasing how my ideas have developed and intertwined over time. Furthermore, archiving these art series is essential. By documenting and organizing them, I create a visual timeline of my artistic growth. This practice not only preserves my work for future reference but also helps me reflect on my progress and creative shifts. Each archived series becomes a chapter in my evolving story as an artist.
Outside the studio sessions
Even outside the studio, observational drawing sessions continue to sharpen the way I look at rhythm, gesture and relationships between images. Working from fast poses and direct observation helps me understand movement and tension in a different way, something that also returns when curating paintings into a series.
Certain stories slowly continue to unfold across the different bodies of work and collections.
