For a long time, I could not realize why I draw. It was until I started to transform photos into fantasy drawings I found out that it could be my personal way to escape from reality. Escape into the world of dreams, the way to create my own world. I was a bit afraid to share this with anyone for some time, however, I was suggested to do so, and I was amazed at how many people were with me this way. I was mostly onto drawing dancers and artists on the first choice, as there is so much about the movement of the human body!

However, later on, I understood that I find my inspiration from real people, real emotions, so I understood that feelings and human representation are the key objects in my drawings. Once I tried the watercolor and I fell in love with it instantly, and now I am continuously developing myself, experimenting with watercolor, but also with combining it with other techniques, as gold gilding ar other. My dream is to draw other's dreams into reality in my drawings!

    Thank you so much! This one was made of one very talented young aerialist and it has a special meaning for me. :)

    I do aerials by myself, I had a reference photo of one talented girl for that drawing, but still, all those silks knots I was drawing very carefully, so it just had to be right... It was easier to draw a figure. :) I am keen on details. Thank you!

    Thank you for the feedback. Its actually so, that I draw many of them fast, as I have some emotion to draw. It is hard to explain, but I imagine emotion as something realistic, or some photo could give me a feeling too, and then imagination works in order to fill empty space of the paper. I often choose quotes for the drawings, or just put my thoughts along with them...

    This one made me feel something. Like all the hands representing the opinions of other people about women, people try to use women's bodies, all the people trying to tell women what to do and think and how our bodies are supposed to be. But really there's this space we can be in where we can just be our wonderful selves, our magnificent and complete selves without any fear, insecurity, judgment or tugging and pulling, and that's a beautiful space to be in.

    Yes, it is something close to what was the idea behind that. This space also represents our inner light, so bright, to be strong enough to withstand the darkness.

    In our search for an escape from reality, many of us have turned to various forms of creative expression, be it art or literature.

    Much like how many fictional worlds offer a sense of belonging and comfort, the transformation of everyday photographs into fantasy drawings can provide a similar refuge for the soul.
