Life After-Effects

Pen & Ink — No Underdrawing

A sprawling composition imagining the turbulent aftermath — celestial figures descend while the world below churns through labour, chaos, and hope. Every corner teems with detail, drawn entirely freehand in pen and ink.

Street Corner

Gouache & Acrylic on Canvas

A high-energy urban scene set against a glittering skyline at dusk. A rushing businessman, a resting elder, papers flying — the painting captures the collision of pace and stillness at a single city corner.

Recurrence Between
Two Best Friends

White Ink & Gouache on Black Paper

A cosmic wolf composed of constellation lines and stardust faces a small solitary figure. Drawn in white ink on deep black paper, the piece meditates on the cyclical nature of friendship — vast, ancient, and quietly electric.
