My creative process is a journey of exploration and spontaneity, deeply rooted in both traditional craftsmanship and contemporary practices. I begin with extensive research and immersion in the cultural and natural contexts that inspire me. This is followed by sketching and conceptualizing, where I allow the ideas to flow organically. I then experiment with various mediums and techniques, integrating traditional methods with modern innovations. Throughout this process, I maintain a reflective practice, documenting and analyzing each step, ensuring that the final artwork resonates with the intended emotions and themes, bridging the past and present.
