Recreating landscapes through emotions I challenge traditional Landscape depictions by creating evocative maps, not of singular locations, but of emotional essence of place destilled from various memories. These Abstract drawings become a form of self-discovery, where the color and texture translate these experiences into a personal language. Bold hues capture the vibrancy of a memory, while softer tones evoke moments of serenity. Textures add another dimension, whispering of a mountain path's roughness or the smooth caress of beach sans. The compositions echo the fluidity of memory, a dance between form and space that reflects the subconscious mind. Ultimately, these artworks transcend mere abstraction. They are Landscapes of memory, inviting viewiers to rediscover the essence of place, not through literal representation, but through the evocative power of colors, lines, texture and compositions.
