My creative process unfolds across three workstations, prominently featuring two analog desks that serve as versatile spaces for layout, sketching, collaging, and painting. At my digital station I work from a Mac mini with a 32″ monitor. I do most of my digital painting on my iPad, sitting on the floor or in bed.
Freedom to Express
Freedom to express means the ability to channel one’s innermost thoughts and emotions without constraint. In my creative sanctuaries, this liberty comes to life through the splashes of paint on canvas, the fluid strokes of a pencil sketch, and the experimental compositions of collage work. Each analog desk becomes a playground for raw ideas and unfiltered feelings, transforming them into tangible art forms. Here, I am unhindered by technical limitations or external judgments, allowing pure expression to flourish. Whether it’s the tactile sensation of mixing colors or the deliberate placement of paper pieces, every action is a declaration of self, a testament to the unfettered creativity that breathes life into my art.
Freedom to Explore
Freedom to explore embodies the spirit of curiosity and the relentless pursuit of new horizons. At my digital workstation, this freedom is represented by the vast expanse of the 32″ monitor connected to my Mac mini. It is a portal to boundless creative possibilities, where digital painting, graphic design, and multimedia projects take shape. With each click and swipe, I traverse diverse artistic landscapes, experimenting with new techniques and styles. The digital realm offers an infinite canvas, enabling me to delve into complex compositions and innovative designs. Here, exploration knows no bounds, and every project is a journey into the unknown, driven by the desire to discover and innovate.
Freedom from Expectation
Freedom from expectation is the liberation from external pressures and preconceived notions. This sense of freedom is most profoundly felt when I retreat to the comfort of my iPad, whether I’m sitting on the floor or lounging in bed. In these intimate settings, the act of digital painting becomes a meditative practice, unburdened by the need for perfection or adherence to standards. It is a space where mistakes are embraced as part of the creative process, and each stroke is an authentic expression of the moment. Free from the weight of expectation, I can create art that is true to my vision, allowing spontaneity and intuition to guide my hand. This freedom transforms my creative journey into one of self-discovery and genuine expression.
