The journey began with cherished memories
My inspiration for these drawings stems from a deep desire to save memories. It all started when I was six years old, drawing the house where I grew up with my grandparents. It wasn't just about the structure; it was about preserving the moments and feelings made within those walls. I began to draw structures that felt safe to me, places that held echoes of a bygone era and the warmth of shared history.
The house that started it all
Among all my works, the drawing of the house I grew up in remains my most prized possession. It serves as a constant reminder that even as time passes and things inevitably change, those precious memories will always endure. They are embedded not just in my heart, but metaphorically, within the very walls of that beloved home, forever preserved in ink.
From history to heartfelt art
My process for creating these detailed drawings is deeply personal. I choose buildings not only for their historical significance but also for the stories and memories people hold within their walls. Each stroke aims to capture the essence of these places, ensuring that every drawing connects the viewer to the rich past and the emotional resonance of the structures I portray.
