My Story

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been drawn to stories—whether through words, images, or the quiet, shifting colors of the sky.

I studied Visual Communication and began my professional journey as a UX/UI designer, where I found satisfaction in crafting digital experiences that are both beautiful and functional. But somewhere along the way, a quieter voice began to call me home.

At 21, I picked up a paintbrush almost by accident—though now I believe it was anything but. It felt like remembering something I had forgotten. My father and grandfather were both painters, and while I never set out to follow their path, I think something of their love for art lived quietly in me all along, waiting for the right moment.

Inspiration and Motivation

Painting opened a door to something different. It was slower, more emotional, more vulnerable. I found myself endlessly captivated by the sky—how it changes, how it holds stories in its light and movement. I started painting skies, clouds, birds, and wide open spaces—places that felt like escape and home all at once. Nature became both my subject and my sanctuary. Through painting, I could express the things that words often fail to capture: awe, stillness, wonder, freedom

Art, for me, is an invitation—to slow down, to look up, to connect, to wonder. Whether I’m designing a product or painting a sky, I’m always searching for that feeling of truth and beauty, that sense that you’re part of something just a little bigger than yourself.

Illustration

Illustration has always been more than just a skill—it’s been a thread woven through the heart of my creative journey. From early sketches on notebook margins to commissioned pieces for magazines, newspapers, hotels, and brands, illustration has given me a way to speak without words, to translate emotion into color and line.

It’s a medium I return to again and again—whether to tell a story, evoke a mood, or simply find stillness in the act of drawing. Through illustration, I’ve had the chance to bring ideas to life across and tell stories
