From Father’s Canvas to My Own
I began painting at an early age, often watching my father as he created his artworks. I admired him deeply and dreamed of becoming an artist like him. With his constant encouragement and support, I explored various artistic techniques. He advised me to experiment with different styles and mediums, allowing me to discover which direction I wanted to pursue in my art. One valuable lesson I learned from him was the importance of using a camera to capture real-life scenes, rather than relying solely on imagination for my artwork. This approach proved incredibly helpful in grounding my art in reality.
Blending Mediums, Capturing Magic
Over the years, I experimented with different painting styles and color palettes. Eventually, I decided to focus on watercolors and acrylics for my pieces. My father also introduced me to an innovative technique, using a mixture of coffee and chocolate as a medium for my paintings. It was a creative way to produce unique works of art.
As I continued to use my camera to capture subjects for my artwork, I found myself increasingly drawn to photography. This passion led me to invest in a professional camera, and I delved deeper into the art of photography.
Brush, Lens, and Life
Today, I enjoy both photography and painting, often using my own photographs as subjects for my artwork. Unfortunately, my battle with cancer and the demands of treatment have limited my ability to fully engage in both art and photography. As a result, I transitioned from using a professional camera to relying on my mobile phone for photography, allowing me to continue pursuing my passion as a hobby.
