"Sketchbook" is my most intimate series to date. After working separately with physical and digital paintings, I decided to merge these two mediums that I frequently use. My aim is to demonstrate that it is possible to blend the best of both worlds. Beginning with scanned pages from my oil painting sketchbook and embracing imperfections, the paintings evolve organically. Experimentation plays a significant role, yet each composition maintains the necessary color balance to engage the viewer deeply. Every piece tells its own story, with every corner holding a unique conversation.
