BLOG
Blog about the processes of ongoing creative projects. This blog is now split into two main categories; ART-IN-PROGRESS and WORK-IN-PROGRESS. They can be found separately under the FINE ARTS tab and under the COMMISSIONS tab. This main blog page will eventually be removed from public view.
ART / POETRY POST № 01
I am currently working on a project in creative writing. The source of this project is that I was badly injured in a traffic accident. The accident has had an impact on my life both physically and spiritually. I have been considering the significance of knowing the background story in order for the reader
STUDIO ARCHIVE
While creating this website, I have been revisiting my archives. The selection process has been very time-consuming, and I’m still not done. Being somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to visual outcomes does not help either. In addition, my visual preferences and skills have evolved over time, so I have also felt compelled
ART / A SEA TRILOGY / PART III: Among Corals
Among Corals is the final installment of A Sea Trilogy. It’s been over a year since I created my initial sketch for these images. I considered revealing their depiction, but I’m content with the uncertainty, so I’ll keep it a somewhat of a mystery for now. The images have made me associate with different things
DESIGN-IN-PROGRESS
Some time ago, I was in a traffic accident and since then, I have not been able to work. It has been a stressful time. Being somewhat of a workaholic doesn’t go well with sick leave. Given the circumstances, I decided to share an early draft of one of my design projects. Since this is
DESIGN / SPACE SCARF
I have almost run out of my buffer of semi-finished artworks in this blog. Therefore, I have turned to my book with unrealized ideas. One of those ideas was to make a Space Scarf. Although it’s ten years since I came up with the concept, I thought it’d be fun to test it since I
ART / A SEA TRILOGY / PART II:II Beyond Limits and Boundaries
The first draft of this poem was created four years ago. I wanted to create a text describing the experience of freediving. Freediving is a complex physical and emotional journey that is challenging to portray solely in the visual arts. The description of freediving is appealing to me because it can be linked to other
DESIGN / Crumpled Ceramics № 02
My curiosity in ceramics was sparked by the desire to make a ceramic object that could withstand water. After working with earthenware for a while, I found the material to be limited. Earthenware is mainly used for making art sculptures and is apparently not water-resistant. I had an idea for a vase that I wanted to
DESIGN / Crumpled Ceramics № 01
This flower pot is one of a collection of objects that I created by experimenting and modifying established ceramic techniques such as pinching and rolling. The clay is pressed against a crumpled piece of paper in a mold. The paper wrinkles create an organic random pattern. The inside and edges of the bowl have been
ART / A SEA TRILOGY / PART II:I And Bodies Deforming
This sculpture brings me a mixture of joy, pain, and compassion. I’m drawn to explore the duality between strength and vulnerability. It has been a recurring theme in my art. Attempts to visualize and display positions and states that can be hard to define in other ways. The streamline position is a traditional position of
ART / A SEA TRILOGY / PART I: Echoes of Absence
The initial section of A Sea Trilogy is now released. The work consists of a set of film stills from a film that does not exist. This work of art falls somewhere between documentary and fiction. Unhindered reflections on a true story. The film stills are in the format of 2.55:1 anamorphic widescreen cinemaskop. Link
ART / A SEA TRILOGY / Sea Triptych
This triptych features two photographs of the same view. One of the images was cut in half and then mirrored to create a flattened loop of images, resulting in the two side pieces. The mirroring causes the waves to brake and change direction. What I appreciate about this view us that it creates a distorted
ART / Stories / Gray Shoe № 01
Material: Acrylic paint on canvas. This is the first painting, that I have painted, that I like. Learning to paint is tricky. While I’ve developed my vision as a photographer over time, when painting; the hand, wet paint, and inner visual image are rarely in agreement. What I like about this painting is the combination
