My best pieces from 2024 - 2026

I was inspired by a photographer's post on social media- a small girl crying in a waiting line for food. I guess it was a look she gives to the photographer that makes me feel shameful, knowing how opposite my life is to her's. This stare shows the world that not every child has the mere chance for a bite of food.

I started this drawing in 2024 and worked on it little by little. Uncontinuously, this took several months until completion. I used charcoal to get that dark, deeply pigmented shadows and a white marker pen for the brightest highlights. I rank this as my most realistic work.

Im a traditional artist and I find digital art more difficult than pencil and paper. To me, controlling my motor skills is easier than realying on buttons on a screen. I like the challenge of creating something from what you're already given but I honestly prefer creating something purely from physical contact with raw medium.

Inspired by the sci-fi saga Avatar, I painted one of the female main characters in watercolour. The bright colours really capture her intense glare and face paint. Using watercolour is callenging because I wanted to capture the same intensity of colours in my reference photo.

Drawn with colour pencils, I test my skills with photorealism. I don't use colour pencils often in my freetime as i find them quite tedious. Colour pencils need continuous layering to capture a certain colour or texture that can be done twice as fast with acrylic paint. But colour pencils are great for drawing tiny details, subtle to the eye.

This is my Junkcotoure piece I made from scratch. The total time took 2 months to complete. The materials are all recycled. The majority of this corset is made up from paper bags and fabric from old tracksuit bottoms. The curved structures are bent from industrial wire.
