Passion Projects: Illustration Beyond Commissions

Personal artworks exploring stories, symbols, and emotional landscapes

Since 2013, I’ve been illustrating not just for clients but also for the curiosity inside me. Travel, new environments, and emotional moments have shaped my visual language. What started as light and easy-going visuals has grown deeper: symbolic, layered, open to interpretation.
