Art
Art is my cherished hobby. I create abstract art to discover a harmonious balance between feelings, beauty and structure. My abstract creations, such as enchanted flowers, mystical faces, or ethereal flames, convey emotions and states of being, communicating with the world in their unique language.
We inhabit a world governed by rules, laws, and boundaries. Emotions find themselves encased within this framework. Geometric forms represent this formation, and I explore how structure and creativity interact. This exploration mirrors the essence of humanity. We are creatures of nature dwelling within a structured existence.
