The Art space. My goal was to achieve photorealism with my art—creating images as realistic as black and white photographs, which I’ve always loved for their simplicity. But as my skills improved, I realized this approach didn’t reflect my unique style.
My personal style began to take shape when my drawing techniques naturally blended with my design sketching skills. It evolved through my series ENCRÉ(E), which focused on faces and tattoos, removing the superfluous to highlight the subject’s personality. This led to the FACES series, where I simplified facial features to reveal a shared human essence, removing signs of age and race. I used minimal pencil lines and added subtle carved details, revealing more when viewed up close. With digital tools, my art takes on a more ethereal and delicate quality.
The series ENCRÉ(E) where the emphasis was on the face and tattoos of my subjects, gradually removing anything superfluous to catch the essence and personality of my subjects.
The series FACES only kept the essence of my subjects’ faces to capture their common humanity, and thus blurring all aspects of age and race.
