Black...the shining black color, is an attribute of Knowledge; its most convincing embodiment is the plumage of a wise bird that contemplates the world and knows the fate of people — the Raven.

It all started with a film black-and-white photography...
And ended up picking up a pen. Was fascinated by the softness and radiant lightness of the ink. This is a wonderful tool that allows you to draw with light-shadow and see the world in a different way. The magic of black and white can work wonders. Once you see the difference in how the ink can show the light, there is no step back. Drawing has its own rhythm, it is never in a hurry or in a hurry. Every stroke counts, teaches us to seize the moment and makes us disciplined. You become stronger by giving more energy and emotion to each artwork.
