I love how this drawing feels like a living ecosystem. In this vibrant landscape, abstract creatures, organic shapes, and playful symbols emerge naturally as if they were already living on the canvas, waiting to be revealed.

I love the sense of movement that flows through the composition: the serpentine lines, the rhythmic patterns, the unexpected contrasts between bold blocks of color and delicate, floating details. Every fragment seems to tell a small story of its own, yet all these elements remain harmoniously woven together. Creating this piece felt like following an inner melody, allowing intuition to guide my hand while letting humor, mystery, and spontaneity breathe into the work.

This artwork celebrates freedom of form and the joy of invention. It invites the viewer to look closely, wander, explore, and discover new shapes and expressions each time. For me, it represents one of those rare moments when imagination and gesture merge into a continuous, joyful flow.

Materials
Oil markers on canvas, 50 × 70 cm (2020).
This piece was created using richly pigmented artist-grade oil markers, allowing me to achieve both precision and softness within the same gesture. The layering technique, where opaque strokes meet transparent washes, gives depth and vibrancy to the composition. The canvas texture enhances the saturated colors, helping the fine lines, dotted motifs, and smooth gradients stand out with clarity and energy. See less
