MIXED MEDIA ART

“Technology offers a boundless space, yet it also brings forth illusions that surpass our logic. Within limitation, I discover strength instead. Mixed Media becomes the place where I play between the two — a middle dimension, both limitless and deeply human.”

TRADITION MEETS GLITCH

WHY MIXED MEDIA ?!

Because a single medium feels too narrow to contain the chaos of imagination. Traditional art gives me honesty: the resistance of paper, the grain of texture, the raw imperfection of lines made by hand. Yet technology offers another kind of freedom — the chance to bend, distort, and animate what once stood still.

Mixed Media becomes the bridge between these two worlds. It is not about replacing one with the other, but about letting them collide and reveal something new. 

. In that collision, accidents become discoveries. Boundaries dissolve, and what begins as a sketch on paper transforms into a living image, charged with unexpected energy.

For me, Mixed Media is a reminder that limitation and possibility are not opposites — they are partners. It is within that fragile balance, between the tactile and the digital, the old and the new, that I find a dimension that feels both limitless and profoundly human.

THE JOURNEY OF CREATION

Experiment, Error, and Discovery

Experiment is at the heart of my process. Each work begins with uncertainty — a line, a mark, or a fragment that refuses to stay still. From there, mistakes become part of the dialogue, accidents open new doors, and unexpected results guide me toward unfamiliar paths.

For me, experimentation is not about control, but about surrendering to the possibilities hidden within each medium. Traditional tools and digital techniques collide, creating a tension that reveals new forms of beauty. 

In this process, problems are not obstacles, but seeds of creation — chances to discover something that cannot be planned, only experienced.
Process is not about perfection, but discovery.
