“I have a little gift for you”

The paper shakes in my hands, the graphite trace of a wolfish gaze shines in the lamplight. I breathe shallowly – what if he doesn’t understand?

“I never knew you could draw like this. It’s amazing, you should keep doing it.”

After years of pushing art as far as my dreams, I suddenly heard a simple sentence that brought me back to where I left off years ago.

This marks the start of a decade of intensive drawing and painting. And portraits are my domain.

After another decade of close encounters with oil, I eagerly return to the beginning and dive in.

You could say that I owe what I can paint today to a few encounters.

But it’s true that without passion, I would have stopped long ago.

Anyway, I will always remember those who encouraged me on my journey, from the bottom of my heart. 🥲
