About 

I developed my talent and turned my passion for drawing and art into a fulfilling work path. With a good eye for design, proportions, and aesthetics after being inspired by the works of prominent architects and painters, which became the cornerstone of my artistic path. For fun, I like to explore countries and cities, new foods and culture. I love drawing and you can usually find me glued to book.
