My Story

My onset of art was with sketches and pencil drawing. I was always interested in it, but when I realized it was good for my psychology, I embraced it with all my heart. I took charcoal lessons; light and shadow always fascinated me, but something was still wrong: perfection. That was my character, but if I did that in art, the art would tucker me out. That's why I became interested in watercolor. And the movement of pigment into the water fascinated me.

As time went by, I realized there was something still wrong. The drawing phase of the paintings and the paintings themselves were taking ages. The realistic paintings were not giving me emotions; they were draining my energy and made me feel far from what I wanted to do. And trying to find my style and making meaningful paintings made me think. At this point, I started working more wet on wet, used loose brush strokes, and realized that my style and desire was Impressionism. I let myself go with the flow and allow the surprises of the watercolor. Instead of painting boring paintings for hours, let water and gravity do some of the work and get story-like paintings. For me, art is the color or composition it evokes in me. That's why I play with space and colors, applying what I want at that moment. For me, art is what I feel now.
