I’VE always found it fascinating how the modern art world merges digital technology with time-honoured methods, and I’ve chosen to embrace that balance in my own work. Every element is drawn by hand - line by line - using nothing more than my Apple Pencil and a screen. I don’t rely on automated shortcuts or pre-made shapes; the closest I come is occasionally smoothing edges with a blur tool. This approach allows me to preserve the tactile intimacy and authenticity you’d find in classical media, while also benefiting from the flexibility and precision digital platforms offer.

My foundation is rooted in the belief that maintaining a direct, tactile connection to the work elevates the artistic process. Even though I’m drawing on a tablet, I’m still engaging with each stroke and detail in a personal, hands-on way. Watching an image take shape line by line reminds me of why I fell in love with art in the first place - it’s a meditative experience that constantly pushes me to refine my skills.

I also see technology as a powerful ally rather than a replacement for traditional craftsmanship. The tablet might help me maintain a steadier hand, but it doesn’t diminish the essence of what I do. Instead, it enhances my ability to explore more complex details and intricacies without losing the core sensibilities of classical art. In that sense, every completed work is an original fusion of old and new - a one-of-a-kind piece born of meticulous drawing, enhanced by modern tools.

To honor the uniqueness of each composition, I produce limited-edition prints on acrylic and metal, with the smallest format being A0 (33”x47”/84 x119 cm). These editions showcase the artwork in vivid detail, capturing its depth and texture through high-resolution printing with UV inks and premium materials. Owning one of these prints means possessing a truly singular piece, as any reproductions are limited to paper prints in A3 (12”x17”/30 x42 cm) or smaller, preserving the authenticity of the original vision.

For me, the digital medium also removes many of the obstacles tied to traditional art setups. There’s no need for a large studio stocked with physical supplies, which gives me the freedom to create whenever and wherever inspiration strikes. It also keeps costs down and eliminates the logistical hurdles of managing canvases, inks, or countless pens - allowing me to pour more energy into exploring new concepts and refining my technique.

Ultimately, my goal is to celebrate the intersection of innovation and tradition. I want each piece to reflect the elegance of a centuries-old craft, while also highlighting how technology can enrich, rather than overshadow, that heritage. Through these limited-edition prints, I hope you’ll sense the dedication in every line, the reflection in every shadow, and the spark of possibility that arises when the human hand meets modern invention. And above all, I hope it resonates with those who appreciate art that is genuine, distinctive, and thoughtfully conceived.
