At the very end of 2023, I finally gave myself permission to follow my dream and become a painter. It’s a dream I’ve had since I was a small kid. I took various art classes and went to art schools, but it always felt like being an artist was something reserved for someone special—not for me.
So I chose the safe path and studied graphic design at the Art Academy. I got a good job at a nice studio and worked with amazing clients as an illustrator and graphic designer. I really loved my job, but at some point, it started to feel like I had grown out of it.
Right now, I’m focused on developing strong work—experimenting with techniques, materials, and topics that interest me—and building my artist CV. Some of my artworks are available for sale, but they’re priced accordingly, and I understand they may not be within everyone’s reach.
If you’d still like to support what I do without a big commitment, this is a simple way to do it. Every contribution helps me keep exploring and creating.
