Evolution in my drawings- From precision to movement
Looking back at my sketches over the years, I can clearly see a shift in my approach to line and form. Where I once focused on figurative representation with detailed, precise lines, my style has gradually become looser and more dynamic. I used to draw with the intention of capturing as many details as possible, but now I aim to convey the essence of the moment through loose, expressive lines that tell a story.
In my current work, I focus on simplicity and expression. A portrait, for example, may consist of only a handful of lines that capture the mood or character of the subject. This simplification has not only made my drawings visually lighter, but it has also created space for a deeper expression of the underlying emotions and stories.
Additionally, my attention has shifted to texture and the different surfaces I use in my work. Where I once concentrated primarily on lines, I now focus on how surfaces and textures can enhance both the visual and tactile qualities of a piece, and how these elements interact to tell a layered story.
