As an artist, I've come to understand art encompasses much more than simply drawing or painting on a canvas. My initial was that perfection is not necessary; achieving it requires time and practice. As a child, I expected my drawings to be photo-realistic, but that never happened, leading to frustration and impatience. However, as I matured, I realized that the goal of creating art is not perfection, but rather developing my own unique style that doesn't have to to realism. While studying various artists and their techniques I recognized that art is less about perfection and more about expression, style, the impact it has on viewers. Influential figures like Gogh and Picasso have shaped the way I approach my art, allowing me to grow and evolve over time. I define art as the ability to create beauty that resonates emotionally, utilizing colors,, and movement to express feelings. Art also serves as medium for raising awareness about societal issues. Through my high school experiences, I began to cultivate my own style which I later named Fractionalism, inspired by an assignment. my initial attempts did not align with cubism, they led to a unique-glass effect. Fractionalism involves transforming beautiful objects into shapes create movement and rhythm, using vivid colors to convey emotions. While may find this style harsh, others it as breathtaking, and I hope my work positivity and beauty in viewers. Fractionalism, coined a friend, reflects my approach of dividing objects into designs that evoke both beauty and emotional depth. The style blends abstract realism with recognizable subjects, encouraging to engage with the artwork on a deeper level. My artistic journey has been shaped by influences from various movements, leading to a mature style that aims to resonate with audiences. Ultimately, Fractionalism conveys the complexity of human emotion and the harsh realities of life while also highlighting the beauty that exists amidst adversity. Through my art, I strive to help others appreciate the positive aspects of our world and invite them to see the beauty that I see. I hope you enjoy exploring my work in this gallery.
