Pattern studies

Patterns studies (2021)

I really loved to explore and create my own versions of many of my favorite patterns. Based on "The world of ornament", Owen jones  and other famous rugs and fabric patterns from all the different cultures. It's all made in ink and watercolor.
 The idea was to find a more personal way of drawing, abandone the stiffness and find a line that feels spontaneous and alive. including the mistakes in the style in order to let the movement of the drawing apear.
 I was also very inspired of my love of patchwork that I use like a base for the composition.

Early spring 2023

This is a sketchbook page, A4, about pink and white flowers. It was a very relax work just for fun and very experimental for me. 







the first layers of this flower were more about the shadows, it looks a bit pale then I added. more pink.




I really want to use this blog more, social media are not very nice to use even though is easier in other to  have contact with people interested in my art and with other artists. I hope I can make something more meaningful and organized in here... 
the pictures are not perfect, nothing is perfect but the intention is to connect and show my work as it goes.
