I used to draw with ink inside my mixed media pieces such as “Self-portrait” or “Algie” series.

In 2022 as my health was degrading and my physical pain reaching peak level, I wasn’t physically able to create large mixed-media pieces.

As the result, I started drawing with marker on paper. In the “Analgesic” series below, I immerse myself in music and enter a creative trance, letting my hand draw organic-shaped patterns, guided by vibrations, emotions and plant-inspired motifs.

This distracts my mind from the mental burden of debilitating pain that I turn into creativity.
