Deadlines and Timelines
A modern day society pushes creators to be extra creative and extra productive for the holiday season. Every year, I see pushy advertisement for sellers on all e-commerce platforms to help prepare for the end-of-year holiday rush. Get the holiday hashtags ready, add gift wrapping options, adjust shipping times, and so on. In other words,…
Neutral Gray
I have been working in Adobe Photoshop for over a decade now, and at some point their default interface changed to a darker gray. It looks cool and goes easier on the eyes, but I realized that it also results in lower contrast in artworks. Whatever one’s editing or drawing seems to have a higher…
The Last of Jewelry
Miniature and jewelry has been sort of a practice playground for me. When I first started working with polymer clay, I was looking to test the material and see its limits. Miniature is a great way to do this since it allows to use minimum of the material, and usually takes less time than a…
Recent Sketches
Whenever the pose is too short, I just concentrate on one part of the body and sort of just indicate the rest. There’s really no need to beat oneself over being unable to do the whole figure in a few minutes. Same goes for an unflattering pose, don’t try to challenge yourself to make it…
I like how this one turned out, but I kind of whish I drew the stool on which the model was sitting. Maybe someday I’ll finish it 🙂 However, it might be best not to touch it, since I usually end up ruining it 😀

Featured Paintings

This abstract painting hides the idea of calmness taking over chaos. The perfect blue consumes the chaos of life, turning it into peaceful emptiness. From the other point of view, the blue wave could be creating chaos.
Winterscape
This miniature landscape painting was inspired by memories of frosty days and mesmerizing snow. The sound of crunching snow underneath one’s feet, the enchanting glow of the snowflakes in the sunset rays, the stillness of the sleeping river bound by ice.

Food is the hardest subject to paint, because there is a good chance that it might get eaten before the artwork is finished. This still life painting of… two and a half peaches nearly did not happened because of this.
