About

I am a current student at University of East London, studying Graphic Design and Printmaking. Art has been my passion ever since I discovered a pencil. I can’t place myself to a specific genre but if I absolutely had to it would be somewhere in between Graphic Design and Illustration. As a young artist I am still trying to define my style of work, so far I would describe it as accurate and delicate. I like to take great care of each piece and make sure it is produced to high quality or else it is not worth exposing to the world, I am definitely a perfectionist when it comes to my own work. Living in digital age it is hard to ignore all the amazing software, however I believe that handmade pieces are so much more valuable and precious compared to digital. It takes great determination to producing a handmade piece, making unintentional mistakes part of the work often leads to uniqueness, such work cannot be re produced which makes it very admirable. I guess I try to re bell against all the brand new techniques on purpose, because I like spending time on solving problems that could be corrected in no time on computer software. I get my inspiration from quite literally everywhere

Nendo: Thin Black Lines

Japanese design group Nendo, have introduced a pop up exhibition with an "outline" theme at a contemporary art and design Saatchi Gallery. Such installations of various simplified everyday objects really fits in with the modern mood of the gallery. Familiar geometrical lines and shapes lead the viewer in a particular direction through out the room, almost like a transparent maze where each separate piece of work lures you in to be explored with its three-dimensional illusion.
Presented pieces look as if they have been inspired by the idea behind Japanese calligraphy but improved to suit the modern age. I think the most successful pieces are "clock" and "mirrors", they really impressed me with the three-dimensional illusion unlike others, these works really came alive from the walls. While looking at this exhibition you really don't realise that all the pieces have been made out of solid steel because they all look so transparent and weightless, which is the beauty of it all.

After seeing this exhibition, i felt inspired to create something just as simple and effective. I think simple ideas always work best, because you don't feel overwhelmed by all the information at once and you understand the pieces without looking too much in to their context.
