Welcome to my world
DIGITAL ART
I cannot draw, and I cannot paint. I am always in awe of people who can. Seeing something or someone and transferring it through your fingers with a pen or a brush is foreign yet incredible to me. What I have, though, is patience and focus. Things that require details and concentration attract me. When I work on a piece, I go into an almost state of trance or meditation, where the outside world vanishes for a while. The inspiration often comes from something I’ve seen, which triggers an idea I have to bring to fruition. It is hours and hours of work on my computer. Sometimes I know what the result will look like, and sometimes I do not. If you are interested in buying an art piece, get a quote.
A BLANKET OF LEAVES The essence of "A Blanket of Leaves" lies in its grayscale abstract pattern, where I experiment with the illusion of movement and complexity through swirling, leaf-like shapes. Each element of the artwork intricately interweaves, creating a densely filled canvas that speaks to the rhythms and patterns found in nature. As you engage with the artwork, notice how the blending of forms and shades of gray adds layers of depth, transforming a simple glance into a dynamic and engaging experience. What really sets this piece apart is my inspiration drawn from optical illusions—specifically, the playful trick of the eye that perceives curved shapes reminiscent of leaves. Yet, here's where the magic of creation took a truly fascinating turn: despite their appearance, the entire artwork is constructed exclusively using triangles. This approach not only posed a delightful challenge but also offered a fresh perspective on how simple geometric forms can interact to mimic the fluidity of organic shapes. In "A Blanket of Leaves," I invite viewers to explore the boundaries of perception and to immerse themselves in the subtle dance of movement that emerges within the grayscale confines of triangular shapes. As you delve into its complexities, I hope it brings the same sense of wonder and discovery that inspired me throughout the creative process.
THE GATE Sometimes it's not what it is but what it can be. I saw this design on an iron gate during one of my walks with my friend Lykke in Paris. She probably wondered then why I was taking a picture of the gate but did not say anything. Like with most photos I take, the "something" that I see is not always apparent, even to me. What was I trying to achieve when I started to work on this piece? To be honest, I do not know. I started with "cleaning" the picture and removing any item that took my eyes away from the ironwork. I then played with colors and eventually ended up with several colored versions I envisioned as a series. When Lykke saw the piece, she immediately recognized the gate.
LOVE For this design, I used the same process of adding triangles as I did for OPTICAL ILLUSION. However, in this case, the difference is that I started with a preset layout to end up with a symmetrical artwork. So instead of moving organically, I followed the pattern I had created. Because the shapes depend on many stages, I still could not foresee the overall project's appearance. Each "curve" could have been in the opposite direction, depending on where I started the triangle. So moving forward and discovering new shapes and patterns was still thrilling. I called it LOVE because I found out that the love of my life had passed away while I was working on it. It helped me focus on something other than the grief and the sadness. As an artist continually unfolding my creative journey, "Love," marks a significant milestone. It’s a digital piece defined by its monochromatic palette, expressed entirely in striking black and white. The design is a geometric and symmetrical wonder, presenting a complex pattern of interwoven, abstract shapes. These shapes layer beautifully, introducing flowing elements that offer an illusion of depth and texture, inviting the viewer to delve deeper into its intricacies. What truly captivates about "Love" is the sense of movement and elegance that emerges from its detailed, wave-like forms. These shapes harmoniously coalesce into a composition that appears almost alive, creating a kaleidoscopic effect that transforms as it captures your gaze from different angles. Despite its symmetrical structure, this square artwork never feels static; instead, it pulsates with a dynamic energy that draws you in and challenges your perceptions. The inspiration behind this piece stems from the fascinating world of optical illusions, particularly those crafted with the simplest of shapes: triangles. As I embarked on the creative process, I adhered to a unique challenge – the complete absence of curved lines. It was an intriguing constraint that pushed my creativity, as the final design surprisingly manifests various curved shapes, a testament to the power of geometric abstraction.
ORANGE SUNS, BLUE HORIZONS As an artist, each piece I create is a new adventure, but my work, "Orange Suns, Blue Horizons" stands out as a vivid exploration of shape, color, and contrast. Crafted digitally, this artwork is a visual symphony of bold black lines interwoven with vibrant orange circles that subtly shift to red. The background—a tapestry of blues—serves as the perfect canvas, accentuating the striking orange elements and creating a harmonious tension that draws the eye. The essence of "Orange Suns, Blue Horizons" lies in its abstraction. Through the use of curves and layering, I've infused the piece with a sense of fluidity and movement, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the dynamic interplay of elements. The bold lines and the daring juxtaposition of colors ask the observer not just to look but to feel the sweeping arcs and vibrant hues. The inspiration for this work came from my desire to experiment and push boundaries. I find that the union of simple shapes and contrasting colors can create complex emotions, a narrative unique to each observer. Every gradient, every curve is deliberate, each telling its own story, yet together they evoke a singular theme: the interplay of chaos and balance, a dance between calm skies and fiery suns. The process of creating "Orange Suns, Blue Horizons" was both challenging and exhilarating. Working in the digital realm allowed me to experiment with layers and textures in ways traditional media do not permit. Yet, it also required a disciplined eye—a precision in placing each element just so, to breathe life into chaos. Through this piece, I invite viewers to pause, reflect, and explore the conversations between shapes and colors. It's an artwork that doesn't demand understanding but rather encourages a visceral connection. With "Orange Suns, Blue Horizons," I aim to offer more than a visual experience—it's an emotional journey into the world of abstract art, a celebration of unpredictability and beauty coexisting on the same canvas.
LUMINOUS DEPTHS I do not understand people who get bored. Like I used to tell my niece: "Only boring people get bored." The piece measures in at a generous size, allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully in its intricate design. I chose a monochromatic color scheme, ranging from white to black, to emphasize the gradient effect and accentuate the three-dimensional illusion that the pattern creates. You might find yourself drawn into the grid of repetitive square formations where each square features a star-like shape. This arrangement invites the eye to see depths that aren't actually there, a nod to my fascination with optical illusions. My love for these visual tricks was the driving force behind "Luminous Depths." There's something magical about the way our minds fill in the blanks and perceive things that are absent. It's this play between reality and illusion that I sought to capture in this artwork. The symmetry and balance in the pattern are carefully crafted to heighten this experience, adding a layer of tranquility to the complex visual interplay. While this piece builds on my previous explorations in digital art, what makes it unique is the meticulous attention to the interplay of gradient and form. Each element of "Luminous Depths" serves to guide the viewer through a visual journey that challenges perception while maintaining harmony. As you gaze upon "Luminous Depths," I encourage you to lose yourself in its star shapes, to allow your mind to wander through its illusory depths. Whether you're an aficionado of digital art or just discovering the beauty of optical illusions, I hope this piece offers you both inspiration and a sense of wonder.
FROM CHAOS TO BEAUTY I cannot draw, and I cannot paint. However, two things that work in my favor are my patience and my attention to details. I also can use the digital tools at my disposal. Here is a creation that has been both a journey and revelation for me: "From Chaos to Beauty." This digital artwork is more than just a visual experience—it's a testament to the creative process where disorder finds its harmony. "From Chaos to Beauty" is a venture into the abstract, an intricate tapestry of bold, curving lines and shapes interwoven into a mesmerizing pattern. The piece draws you in with its vibrant palette—shades of orange, yellow, blue, and brown dance across the canvas, creating a kaleidoscope of color that captivates and intrigues. Irregular and non-representational, the shapes create a dynamism—a sense of movement and fluidity that defies the static nature of a digital medium. The inspiration behind this piece is as organic as the art itself. It all began with a series of black lines, seemingly chaotic and disordered. As I immersed myself in the process, those lines began to tell a story. Adding color transformed confusion into balance, with every shade contributing to the tapestry of hues that guided the piece from the abstract lines to a celebration of harmony. What sets this creation process apart is the transformation journey itself—the initial chaos of black lines evolving into a synesthetic dance of forms and colors. It's this evolution that brings out not just visual appeal but emotional depth—a journey from randomness to beauty that resonates with both creator and observer. "From Chaos to Beauty" is a reminder that out of disorder can arise unexpected harmony, and through abstraction, we can find a dynamic equilibrium that defines the art and its creator's vision. It's an invitation to witness and reflect on the beauty of transformation both on the canvas and beyond.
TESSELLATED ILLUSION 1 square...10 squares...100 squares...1000 squares...When I embarked on the creation of "Tessellated Illusion," I found myself drawn into a world where geometry and perception dance intricately. This digital artwork, though composed of orderly interlocking squares, transforms into a dynamic pattern that challenges the eye and mind. The artwork's uniqueness lies in its composition of repeating squares that mimic curved forms like spiraling fans or delicate leaves. Despite the illusion of curves, not a single curved line was drawn in this design. Instead, it’s through precise placement and meticulous attention to detail that this fluid motion and depth emerged. The fine lines and subtle gradients give life to each component, allowing the piece to resonate on both aesthetic and intellectual levels. In drafting "Tessellated Illusion," I was inspired by my love for optical illusions and the way they allow us to see beyond conventional boundaries. Working with a monochromatic color scheme in shades of gray, I aimed to accentuate the intricate details, providing a sleek and modern visual experience that invites viewers to delve deeper into the complexity and simplicity intertwined in the artwork. This artwork is a testament to my exploration of how simplicity can be complex and how complexity can be distilled into simple, interlocking shapes to craft an illusion that captivates and intrigues. "Tessellated Illusion" stands not just as a piece to behold, but as a statement on perspective and perception itself.

THE PATCHWORK This piece represents a departure from traditional portrayals. Utilizing intricate black and white geometric patterns, I designed a composition that's both visually striking and deeply personal. The medium of choice here is digital, allowing for the precision and versatility necessary to explore the aesthetic I sought. Intricate patterns such as dots, lines, and grids harmoniously converge to form the facial features and head. This mosaic-like effect breathes life into the piece, adding depth and dimensionality that draw attention to the eyes and the subject's expression. "The Patchwork" is more than just an artwork; it's a reflection of my identity. As a mixed-race individual, I've often perceived myself as a blending of various legacies and cultures. This concept of assembling diverse pieces to create something whole inspired me profoundly. Each pattern in the portrait is a metaphor for these varied influences coming together to form my unique perspective. Creating this piece was a unique journey. The digital medium offered a canvas where precision met fluidity, allowing for endless experimentation with textures and shapes until they aligned perfectly to express the emotion I intended. This iterative process was both challenging and rewarding, as it enabled me to push the boundaries of how we perceive composite identities. It's not just about seeing. It's about understanding a mosaic of lived experiences. This piece serves as a reminder of the beauty found in diversity and the stories told through the intricate tapestry of our backgrounds.
THE TRAMWAY When I first set out to create this artwork, my goal was to capture a sense of movement and energy, both visually and emotionally. This piece, a digital photography collage, is a testament to the vibrant chaos of urban life and the relentless forward motion that defines our daily existence. "The Tramway" is more than just a static image of a car; it's an exploration of textures, colors, and narratives intertwined to create a dynamic, living piece. This deliberate layering approach gives the entire image a textured and vibrant aesthetic, inviting viewers to pause and trace the stories hidden within the composition. What inspired me to embark on this creative journey were the multifaceted experiences of city life. Cities are places where stories overlap and intersect, much like the clippings and texts in my artwork. I wanted to capture that in a way that feels both contemporary and timeless. And thus, "The Tramway" was conceived as a tribute to the perpetual rhythm of urban landscapes. In this creation, the bold red tones serve as a metaphor for the vibrancy and lifeblood of city life—unapologetically loud, ceaselessly moving, and pulsating with potential. As you view "The Tramway," I hope you find yourself swept away by its movement and energy, as if you're catching a fleeting yet significant glimpse into the heart of the urban jungle.
RAYS OF LIFE There is no greater joy for me than seeing something take shape, evolve, and come to fruition right before my eyes. The process is fluid and freeing since I have no preconceived notion of where I "need" to end up. My artwork, "Rays of Life," is a digital creation that marks a fascinating exploration into the realms of symmetry and precision. As an artist who has always been passionate about intricate designs and the compelling nature of geometric forms, this piece is a reflection of my love for balance and complexity. "Rays of Life" is a captivating black and white geometric piece that effectively draws the viewer into its mesmerizing pattern. At its center lies a pristine white circle, an anchoring point from which a series of thin, straight lines radiate outward in sweeping directions. The result is a striking sunburst pattern that resonates with energy and movement, perfectly framed against a deep black backdrop. This interplay of symmetry and radial balance not only captures the eye but also evokes a dynamic sense of depth and motion.

The creative process of "Rays of Life" was a unique experience, as it challenged me to push the boundaries of digital art, exploring how different elements can come together to form a cohesive, and yet dynamic composition. Through "Rays of Life," I aim to invite viewers into a world where simplicity meets intricacy, and movement coexists with stillness. It stands as a testament to my ongoing exploration of how lines and shapes can convey emotion and energy, even within the stark confines of black and white. This piece is not just a work of art; it is an invitation to pause, reflect, and appreciate the beauty of precision and the elegance of simplicity.
THE DEPTH OF OUR SOULS Crafted meticulously, this artwork spans a virtual canvas with its intricate black-and-white design, inviting viewers to lose themselves in its hypnotic composition. "The Depth Of Our Souls” features a complex play of star-like shapes that emerge from multiple central points, each lattice formed by concentric lines that weave and radiate outward. This pattern, though deceptively simple in its monochrome palette, captivates with an illusion of depth and movement, as if alive and constantly shifting before your eyes. The optical illusion effect is a unique element of the piece, drawing you in deeper with each glance and challenging the perception of space within the confinements of a digital canvas. The creation process was an exploration into how alternating colors can sculpt the very essence of depth and motion without the need for shades or tones beyond black and white. This restrained use of color pushes the boundaries of digital art, demonstrating that sometimes, simplicity can lead to the most profound visual experiences. While working on "The Depth Of Our Souls,” I sought to push beyond traditional methods and discover new dimensions within a seemingly limited color scheme. The result is an artwork that not only engages the mind but also touches upon the ethereal, beckoning viewers to ponder what lies within the depths of their own souls as they navigate through its intricate patterns.
