I'm 27 years old and work as a freelance visual artist in Manchester. I'm represented by ArTzu Gallery.

As a technique, I use the ink on paper. I like to use the contrast between black and white because it is strong and eloquent, capable of captivating the onlooker. I focus on the way I organize different types of dots, lines and shapes in creating expressive structures. I frequently use curbed lines for conferring dynamism and rhythm on my works. The symmetry, asymmetry, rhythm and balance are the means of artistic expression I use in trying to create a surrealist space. Through my work I attempt to reveal to the onlookers, another world, which could interact with theirs and convey a sensation of beauty, charm and relaxation. I am really keen on what I am doing and I always feel motivated when pursuing both my professional and personal goals.
