Stories of a Kingdom
(Series created at 16 years old)
In this section I present you "Stories of a Kingdom", a body of works that held immense significance in my adolescence as it empowered my artistic journey at just 16 years old. This series represents my first dedicated exploration of the medieval world, finding inspiration in legends and fantasy to create surreal and mythical scenes. Working solely with a graphite pencil on paper, I delved into uncharted imaginative territories, reveling in the limitless creative possibilities that this theme offered. These drawings not only provided a platform for artistic expression but also served as a gateway to a deep passion for art and storytelling that continues to shape my work to this day.
