Artistic Philosophy

My artistic style can be described as 'Idealistic Flow'. My creations stem from rational observation, transforming my perceptions of the world into emotionally charged compositions. The world, as we know it, takes on significance through our very perceptions. It's through this process of attribution that life gains its meaning. Thus, my works stand as both an observation of the world and a personal interpretation of it. This reimagining is neither a direct simulation of reality nor a concrete representation of objects. Instead, it reflects my current cognitive understanding and emotional reactions to the world around me. At times, it might seem grand or minute, passionate or subdued, but always flowing from an idealistic perspective.
