Ink of the Soul

Art born from curiosity and guts

Creativity Equals Curiosity, Courage, and Self-Confidence

This simple yet powerful idea is the foundation of my artistic journey. It’s more than just a personal motto—it’s a way of life, a compass that guides me every time I face a blank canvas.

Curiosity pushes me to explore the unknown, to ask questions rather than settle for answers. It invites me to experiment, to play, and to let go of control. Courage gives me the strength to take risks, to make bold choices in color, form, and subject, even when I’m unsure of the outcome. And self-confidence allows me to trust my instincts, to believe in the value of my vision, and to silence the inner critic that so often holds us back.

When I stay true to this philosophy, something magical happens: I become more honest in my work. I no longer try to create what I think others want to see. Instead, I paint what I truly feel, what moves me, what demands to be expressed. The result is art that feels alive—art that has the power to touch people not because it aims to please, but because it’s real.

Paradoxically, by focusing less on the viewer and more on my authentic expression, I find that my work connects with more people. It surprises them, stirs something inside them, and invites them to see the world through my eyes. And to me, that’s the greatest reward an artist can hope for.
