About The Artists
Artist statement.
I work with dark colors because they allow me to create stunning backgrounds that truly stand out. My art is a powerful form of expression, highlighting what we often overlook. As I've advanced in the art industry, it's become clear to me that few artists focus on space. This realization has fueled my passion to depict the incredible cosmos that surrounds us daily. I find immense motivation in the thought of space, and I believe many people fail to recognize the extraordinary opportunity we have to capture the breathtaking beauty of our sky. During the creation of my pieces, I initially aimed for simplicity, but it didn’t meet my standards. With some guidance, I learned how to make many genius works. Armed with a large canvas and professional-grade colors and brushes, I set to work. I confidently incorporated techniques I had never explored before. It took considerable time and effort, but the outcome was absolutely worth it. I aimed to convey the sense of empty space and the immense distances between galaxies, capturing a feeling that resonates deeply with loneliness. This connection to the artwork is something I truly embrace.
